Interface Status

Possible Settings: Enable, Disable

Default Setting: Disable

Determines whether the Ethernet port is being used and can be configured.

Enable – The port is active. It can receive Version 2 or IEEE 802.3 MAC frames and transmit Version 2 MAC frames only. When the Ethernet port is enabled, the Would you like to set the Node's IP Destination to Ethernet? prompt is displayed.

If you select Yes, the Default IP Destination (see Table 4-17, Node IP Options) is automatically changed to Ethernet, so the Ethernet port’s Default Gateway Address is used for packets that do not have a route. This is required when the NMS is on a different subnet than the unit.

If you select No, the COM port or a PVC will be used for packets without a route.

Disable – The port is not active. When the port is disabled, the following will occur:

TNo alarms or traps configured for the port will be generated.

All port uses that refer to the Ethernet port, like the Default IP Destination and Initial Route Destination, will be reset to their default values (see Table 4-17, Node IP Options, and Table 4-22, SNMP Traps and Trap Dial-Out Options).

IP Address

Possible Settings: 001.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255, Clear

Default Setting: Clear (000.000.000.000)

Specifies the IP address needed to access the Ethernet port.

001.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255 – Shows the IP address for the port, which can be viewed or edited.

Clear – Fills the IP address with zeros.

Subnet Mask

Possible Settings: 000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255, Clear

Default Setting: 000.000.000.000

Specifies the subnet mask associated with the IP address that is needed to access the

Ethernet port.

000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255 – Set the Ethernet port’s subnet mask. The range for each byte is 000 to 255.

Clear – Fills the subnet mask associated with the IP address with zeros.
