Figure 3.3-5 Ip Configuration - Advantech EKI-7556MI User Manual

The interface allows users to configure the switch to receive an IP address from DHCP server or
manually fill in IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, IP addresses of the primary and the secondary
DNS servers.
•
DHCP Client: Enable or disable the DHCP client function. When DHCP client function is enabled, the
industrial switch will be assigned an IP address from the network DHCP server. The default IP
address will be replaced by the assigned IP address on DHCP server. After users click Apply, a
popup dialog shows up. It is to inform the user that when the DHCP client is enabled, the current IP
will lose and user should find the new IP on the DHCP server.
•
IP Address: Assign the IP address that the network is using. If DHCP client function is enabled, and
then the user doesn't need to assign the IP address. And, the network DHCP server will assign the IP
address displaying in this column for the industrial switch. The default IP is 192.168.1.1.
•
Subnet Mask: Assign the subnet mask to the IP address. If DHCP client function is enabled, and
then the user does not need to assign the subnet mask.
•
Gateway: Assign the network gateway for the industrial switch. The default gateway is 192.168.1.254.
•
DNS1: The abbreviation of Domain Name Server—an Internet service that translate domain name
into IP addresses. Domain name are alphabetic which are easy to be remembered. Because the
Internet is based on IP address; every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must
translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.net.com
might translate to 192.168.1.1
•
DNS2: The backup for DNS1. When DNS1 cannot function, DNS2 will then replace DNS1
immediately.
• And then, click Apply .
