It consists of four bytes (for a total of 32 bits),each of which can have value from 0 to 255.By default, allocation is dynamic. With dynamic allocation, the moduleswait to receive the IP address from a DHCP server.Without a DHCP server, the modules adopt an Autoconfiguration IPAddress in the range 169.254.xxx.xxx, calculated in a pseudo randommanner so as to be the same at every switch-on.Alternatively, you can enable the static IP address option, which allowsthe IP address to be forced. In this case, you must make sure that theIP Address inserted is different to that of the other devices connected tothe same network.Network MaskThis is the subnet mask, and identifies the method to recognize thesubnet to which the modules belong, with the possibility of searching forthe modules within a defined set of recipients.If you enabled the option Static IP Address, you must also enter thecorrect Network Mask.GatewayAddressThe IP address of the node to which the module it is connected, in thepresence of multiple subnets.If you enabled the Static IP Address option, you must also enter thecorrect Gateway Address.TCP Client There are three IP Addresses of the client devices connected to themodules.MAC Address It is the address assigned by ABB, having a OUI equal to ac:d3:64 (1) .(1) Organizationally Unique Identifier, formed from the first three bytes of a MAC address, and which uniquelyidentifies the manufacturer of an Ethernet device.Configuration With the exception of addressing, the modules can be configured only with the Ekip Connectapplication (see the chapter "13 - Other accessories", and the paragraph "Ekip Connectapplication" on page 221):• With Ekip T&P module connected to the release, and serial scan (see page 222).• With Ekip Bluetooth module connected to the release, and Bluetooth scan (see page 221).• With the modules connected to the Ethernet network, and Ethernet scan.With serial or Bluetooth scan, configuration is possible only with Local Bus enabled.On Ekip Connect the following options are also available:• IEEE 1588, to enable the IEEE 1588 protocol for distribution of the clock signal andsynchronization.• IEEE 1588 master, to set the modules as the master in the section of the network to whichthey belong.• Gratuitous ARP, to enable/disable the periodic generation of an ARP Gratuitous message,used by Ekip Connect in order to find the modules with an Ethernet scan without knowingthe IP address.• HTTP server, to enable/disable the Web Server function, that is, the possibility to find themodules from a web server.The Web Server function is disabled by default.IMPORTANT: with the Web Server function enabled, it is recommended toselect local access mode for the modules.
