• IP address, Subnet mask , Default gateway – these fields are active if IP address is static; • Host Name – up to 16 symbols, it appears as a “Subject” in sent e-mails; • MAC – device MAC address. The good practice is to change the default IP address of controller immediately after first power- on.
