  • Page 13: Saving The Ip Address In The Tpg

    General Information Saving the IP Address in the TPG Why IP Addresses? An IP address is used to address network devices in an IP network. TCP/IP network protocols require the storing of the IP address in the TPG so that the device can be addressed within the network. How Does the TPG TPGs are shipped without an IP address.
  • Page 14 General Information ZeroConf If no IP address can be assigned via boot protocols, the TPG assigns itself an IP address via ZeroConf. Requirements The 'ZeroConf' parameter has been activated; see: For this purpose, the TPG picks an IP address at random from the address range (169.254.0.0/16) which is reserved for ZeroConf and sends a query to the network.
  • Page 15 General Information ARP/PING The assignment of the IP address to the hardware address can be done via the ARP table. The ARP table is an internal system file in which the assignment is temporarily saved (about 15 min). This table is administered by the ARP protocol.
  • Page 16 General Information InterCon-NetTool (IP Wizard) The IP Wizard of the InterCon-NetTool helps you to configure the TCP/IP parameters, e.g. the IP address. You can easily enter the desi- red IP address and save it in the TPG using the IP Wizard. Requirements The TPG is connected to the network and the mains voltage.
