Network Settings

This section describes the network settings of the SmartAXIS.
These settings are used to configure the network to use the SmartAXIS Ethernet port. All SmartAXIS models are equipped with an
Ethernet port except for the 12-I/O type. Configure the SmartAXIS network settings in the same manner as the network settings
for a computer.
The network settings can be configured with either of the methods below.
Automatically acquire an IP address (DHCP)

A DHCP server must be present on the network where the SmartAXIS is located. The SmartAXIS automatically acquires its network settings
from the DHCP server. The network settings are acquired from the DHCP server when the user program is finished downloading and when
the SmartAXIS is turned on.
Use the following IP address

Enter the SmartAXIS network settings as a fixed IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. The network settings are applied when the
user program is finished downloading. Consult the network administrator regarding the IP address to configure.
Note 1: The SmartAXIS default settings are: IP address 192.168.1.5, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, default gateway 0.0.0.0.
Note 2: When automatically acquiring an IP address using DHCP, the same IP address may not be assigned each time depending on the DHCP
server settings and the system configuration on the network where the SmartAXIS is operating. (Example: When using DHCP with two SmartAXIS
and automatically acquiring the IP addresses, the IP addresses for two SmartAXIS may be replaced.) When the SmartAXIS is incorporated in a
system configuration where it is a communication target, we recommend setting a fixed IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
