The following table provides information about the Network Configuration fields.
General
You can enter a 16-character Device Name to identify this DeviceMaster EIP-MOD on
Device Name
the Home page.
The TCP protocol has a keepalive feature where the two network stacks periodically
ping each other to make sure the connection is still up.
Upon loss of a TCP/IP connection, the network stack starts a timer. If the TCP/IP
connection is still lost after the number of seconds set by the TCP Keepalive value,
then the DeviceMaster EIP-MOD closes the connection and frees all the ports
TCP Keepalive
associated with the connection.
Default = 60
If the DeviceMaster EIP-MOD was the originator of the first connection, it will then
try to re-connect the TCP/IP connection. This allows the DeviceMaster EIP-MOD to be
connected and ready to send/receive data even after a network disturbance.
For most networks the default value should not need to be changed.
Allows you to change the bootloader time-out value before the default application,
EtherNet/IP-Modbus loads.
Boot Timeout
You may need to increase this time-out value to 45 for compatibility with spanning tree
Default = 15
devices (normally switches). If you change the time-out value to 0, this prevents
EtherNet/IP-Modbus from loading.
IP Configuration (IPv4)
Configures the DeviceMaster EIP-MOD to use DHCPv4 mode.
If you select Use DHCP, the IPv4 Address field below is disabled and set to 0.0.0.0.
Use DHCP
See your System Administrator to acquire a unique reserved IPv4 address if you are
using DHCP. They will need the MAC address of the unit to provide you with an IPv4
address.
Configures the DeviceMaster EIP-MOD with the static IPv4 address information that
you provide in the IPv4 Address, IPv4 Netmask, and IPv4 Gateway fields below.
The DeviceMaster EIP-MOD is shipped from the factory with the following default
