Configuring network settings

The following E-DIO24-OEM network settings are software-selectable. One user at a time can connect to the
device and configure network options. The default settings are recommended for typical local networks.

Address mode

The address mode settings determine whether default IP parameters (IPv4 address, subnet mask, and gateway)
are assigned to the E-DIO24-OEM, or whether an auto-addressing method is used to assign these parameters.
DHCP or Link-Local enabled (default)
If connected to a network with a DHCP server, the service automatically assigns IP addresses to the E-DIO24-
OEM. If the connected network does not have a DHCP server, the address stored in the default IP address is
assigned.
If the E-DIO24-OEM is directly connected to a Windows PC or other host that supports link-local addressing, a
link-local address is assigned. A link-local address is valid only for communications between the E-DIO24-
OEM and the PC to which it is connected.
DHCP Only
This setting enables configuration by a DHCP server, if one is available. The E-DIO24-OEM is assigned an IP
address shortly after it is powered up and attached to the network.
Link-local Only
The E-DIO24-OEM is assigned a link-local IP address by the Windows PC or other host that supports link-local
addressing to which it is connected. A link-local address is valid only for communications between the
E-DIO24-OEM and the PC to which it is connected.

IP address settings

The default settings of the following IP address are assigned to the E-DIO24-OEM when automatic addressing
is either disabled or not available (DHCP or link-local, for example):
 – The IP address stored on the device. The default IPv4 address is 192.168.0.101.
IPv4 address
 – The subnet mask stored on the device. The subnet mask determines the number of bits of
Subnet mask
the IP address that is used for the host portion of the address vs. the number of bits used for the network
portion. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.000.
 – The gateway IP address stored on the device. The gateway address of the device bridges
Gateway
subnets within a network. The default gateway is 192.168.0.1.
Connection code
The connection code is number between 0 (default) and 999999999. Change this number from its default to
prevent other users from connecting to and configuring the device. When the code is set to a value other than 0,
the device remains visible to other users on the network, but connection by another user is not allowed.
is manually configured on the E-DIO24-OEM.
