Default Network Destination is forced to None if:
– Default Network Destination is set to FDL1, FDL2 or DDL and Network
Interface is set to Disable on the Network Interface Options screen (see
Table 5-1).
– Management Link on the Network Interface Options screen is changed to a
value inconsistent with the value of Network Interface Destination.

None – No default network destination. Data that cannot be routed is discarded.
COM – The communication port is the default network destination. This selection only
appears if Port Use is set to Net Link on the Communication Port Options screen (see
Table 5-10).
FDL1 – The FDL is the default network destination on Network Interface 1. This
selection only appears if Management Link is set to FDL on the Network Interface 1
Options screen (see Table 5-1).
FDL2 – The FDL is the default network destination on Network Interface 2. This
selection only appears if Management Link is set to FDL on the Network Interface 2
Options screen (see Table 5-1).
DDL – The DDL is the default network destination. This selection only appears if
Management Link is set to DDL on the Network Interface Options screen (see

Communication Port IP Address
Possible Settings: 000.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255, Clear
Default Setting: 000.000.000.000
Specifies the IP address needed to access the unit when the COM port is configured as
a network communication link. The IP address is only in effect when the Communication
Port Use configuration option is set to Net Link (see Table 5-10).
000.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255 – Shows the communication port IP address,
which you can view or edit. The first digit (i.e.,
xxx
.255.255.255) cannot be 0 or 127, or
greater than 223. However, 000 is valid, representing a null address.
Clear – Clears the IP address for the communication port and fills the address with
zeros (i.e., 000.000.000.000).
