FP Web-Server V2.11 5.2 Ethernet IP Configuration535.2 Ethernet IP ConfigurationEvery Ethernet participant must have an individual IP address. This address may not be used asecond time in the same network. The IP address consists of 4 numbers (any 0 to 255, see alsoIP and TCP/ IP (see page 166)). The first numbers define the network address, the othernumbers define the participant's address.The IP address of the FP Web-Server can be fixed or it can be allocated dynamically by using aDHCP-Server.1. In a "self set-up" network (see page 168) (e.g. with only one hub) the fixed IPaddresses can be assigned by yourselfIn many cases a class C network is used. The network is identified by 3 numbers.The participants (Computers, Units, FP Web-Server...) are distinguished by the lastnumber (1 to 254), e.g. 192.168.206.1 to 192.168.206.254.In case this network is connected to a second network via a gateway (e.g. thecomputer for configuration might be in this network), the gateway address alsoneeds to be specified, e.g.:Computer in x.y.206.z Network with Netmask 255.255.255.0, using the x.y.206.1Gateway.FP Web-Server in x.y.60.z Network with the following settings:- IP Add=x.y.60.31- Netmask=255.255.255.0- Gateway=x.y.60.12. In case the FP Web-Server should be connected to an existing network, thefollowing data must be requested from the network administrator:- Is there a DHCP-Server in the network? If NOT:- IP address: Which fixed IP address can be assigned to the FP Web-Server?- Netmask: How is the network address set up (length of the network address and/or the participant's address)?
