Operation Using Ethernet

Dynamic web pages are generated in the C-Box/2A which contain the current settings of the C-Box/2A and the peripherals. The op-
eration is only possible while there is an Ethernet connection to the C-Box/2A.

Requirements

You need a web browser (e.g. Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer) on a PC with a network connection. Decide about connecting the
C-Box/2A to a network or directly to a PC.
The C-Box/2A is delivered as standard with a fixed IP address. If you do not require a static IP address, you can enable DHCP (Dy-
namic Host Configuration Protocol) as automatic IP address allocation. The controller will be assigned an IP address by the DHCP
server, see Chap. 5.4.2.
If you have set your browser so that it accesses internet through a proxy server, please add the IP address of the controller to the IP
addresses that should not be routed through the proxy server in the settings of the browser.
Parameter Description
Address type Static IP address (standard) or dynamic IP address (DHCP , Standard)
IP address Static IP address of the controller (only active if no DHCP is selected).
