LAN or WAN network
In TCP/IP networking, a LAN is often but not always implemented as a single IP
subnet. A router connects LANs to a WAN. In IP networking, the router maintains
both a LAN address and a WAN address. Design considerations for computer
networks cover a wide range of topics including layout, capacity planning, and
security. To some extent, the network configuration also depends on user preferences.

Setting communication parameters

The IP address and the corresponding mask can be set via the LHMI for the rear port.
The front port uses a fixed IP address 192.168.0.254. The front port also uses
DHCP.
Each Ethernet interface has a factory default IP address when the complete IED is
delivered.
