Global Setup Menu Functions
• Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard
The interface can accept a static IP address, or it can obtain an IP address dynamically
from a DHCP server. The IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway Address, DHCP enable,
and Port are programmable from the Unit Ethernet Setup menu system. The settings
are performed in the IP Configuration screen.
IP Address
The IP Address is used to select a static IP address (unless Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) will be used). The IP address must not be the same
address as another instrument or PC on the network. Network conflicts will occur if
two devices have the same IP address. See the System Administrator to determine a
static IP address that will avoid conflicts.
Subnet Mask
The Subnet Mask is used to configure the Subnet Mask on a network if DHCP is not
enabled. If DHCP is not used to automatically detect the Subnet Mask on a network,
the Subnet Mask must be manually configured. Unlike the IP address, the Subnet Mask
must be the same Subnet Mask as the network Subnet Mask. See the System
Administrator to determine the Subnet Mask.
Gateway
The Gateway is the network address that provides access to an outside network. Use
the Gateway submenu to configure the Gateway on a network if DHCP is not enabled.
If DHCP is not used to automatically detect the Gateway on a network, the Gateway
must be manually configured. Unlike the IP address, the Gateway must be the same
Gateway address as the network Gateway address. See the System Administrator to
determine the Gateway address.
DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) function is used to have the TVM
automatically configure an IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway every time the unit
is powered on. The IP Address is dynamic and could change each time the TVM is
powered on. DHCP Enable is set to OFF by default.

GPI Input Function and GPI Alarm Names

The input GPIs have selectable functions. There are selectable functions to allow
external control of the unit using the default settings. Another function of the GPI is to
show an onscreen alarm with a user-selected identification from an external input. The
user-selected identification can be renamed in the GPI ALARM NAMES window.
To change the GPI User Identification:
1. Press SETUP to display the SETUP MENU.
2. Use the NAVIGATION buttons to move the cursor to COMMUNICATIONS
SETUP menu.
3. Press the ENT button.
