Advantech eWorx SE500 User Manual page 54

DHCP Enabled/Disabled: The switch can automatically obtain an IP address from a server

using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This can speed up initial set up, as
the network administrator does not have to find an open IP address.
IP Address and subnet mask configuration: The IP address for the switch can be changed to

a user-defined address along with a customized subnet mask to separate subnets.
Advanced users can set the IP address to 0.0.0.0 to disable the use of an IP address for additional
security. However, any features requiring an IP address (i.e., web interface, etc.) will no longer be
available.
Default Gateway Selection: A Gateway Address is chosen to be the address of a router that

connects two different networks. This can be an IP address or a Fully Qualified Domain
Name (FQDN) such as "domainname.org".
NTP Server: The IP address or domain name of an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server

from which the switch may retrieve the current time at startup. Please note that using a
domain name requires that at least one domain name server be configured.
