Par. 12-03,Default Gateway is optional and only used in routed networks.Par. 12-06,Name ServersPar. 12-07,Domain NamePar. 12-08,Host NameAre used with Domain Name Server systems and are all optional. If DHCP or BOOTP is selected as IP address assignment, these parameters are readonly.NB!It is only possible to assign valid class A, B and C IP address to the option. The valid ranges are shown in the below table:Class A 1.0.0.1 - 126.255.255.254Class B 128.1.0.1 - 191.255.255.254Class C 192.0.1.1 - 223.255.254.2544.1.2 Ethernet Link ParametersParameter group 12-1* holds information Ethernet Link information:12-10 Link Status12-11 Link Duration12-12 Auto Negotiation12-13 Link Speed12-14 Link DuplexPlease note the Ethernet Link Parameters are unique per port.Par. 12-10,Link Status and par. 12-11,Link Duration displays information on the link status, per port.Par. 12-10,Link Status will display Link or No Link according to the status of the present port.Par. 12-11,Link Duration will display the duration of the link on the present port. If the link is broken the counter will be reset.Par. 12-12,Auto Negotiation – is a feature that enables two connected Ethernet devices to choose common transmission parameters, such as speed andduplex mode. In this process, the connected devices first share their capabilities as for these parameters and then choose the fastest transmission modethey both support.By default this function is enabled.Incapability between the connected devices, may lead to decreased communication performance.To prevent this, Auto Negotiation can be disabled.If par. 12-12 is set to OFF, link speed and duplex mode can be configured manually in par. 12-13 and 12-14.Par. 12-13,Link Speed – displays/sets the link speed per port. “None” is displayed if no link is present.Par. 12-14,Link Duplex – displays/sets the duplex mode per port.Half-duplex provides communication in both directions, but only in one direction at a time (not simultaneously).Full-duplex allows communication in both directions, and unlike half-duplex, allows for this to happen simultaneously.4 How to Configure MCA 121 EtherNet/IP16 MG.90.J2.02 - VLT® is a registered Danfoss trademark4
