To configure Ethernet Port A, enter the following for auto-sensing mode:

ethertype auto

or to configure a speed and duplex, use the following command:

ethertype <10100> <halffull>

To display the current configuration and status of the Ethernet ports, enter:

status

For example, to configure a full-duplex 100Mbps link, enter:

ethertype 100 full

To establish a 1000Mbps connection, both ends of the link must be

iconfigured as auto-sensing.

Step three: Assign an IP address to the MCU (optional)

The default setting for the MCU is to use DHCP to obtain an IP address. You can assign a static IP address if you prefer or if a DHCP server is not available.

If you want the IP address of the MCU to be assigned by your DHCP server, omit this step.

To assign a static IP address, use the following command:

static <IP address> <netmask> <default gateway address> <DNS server address>

If you do not have a DNS server, use 0.0.0.0 as the DNS server IP

iaddress.

For example, to assign an address of 192.168.1.2 where the default gateway is at 192.168.1.1, enter:

static 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0

To return to using DHCP after setting a static address, use the following command:

dhcp

Step four: Discover the IP address of the MCU

1To display the current status of the IP address, enter: status

If you have DHCP enabled on your network and you are allowing the MCU to acquire its address using DHCP, the IP address that has been acquired by Ethernet Port A will be shown; if you have assigned a static IP address, that is the address that will be shown.

2Make a note of the IP address. You will use this to access the web interface of the unit.
