FP Web-Server V2.11

3.5 Determination of the IP Configuration
Every Ethernet participant must have an individual IP address. This address may not be used a
second time in the same network. The IP address (see page
166) consists of 4 numbers (0 to
255). The first numbers define the network address, the other numbers define the participant's
address. The IP address of the FP Web-Server can be fixed or it can be allocated dynamically
by a DHCP-Server.
1. In a "self set-up" network (e.g. with only one hub) the IP addresses can be
assigned by yourself
In this case, do not use DHCP. For further information refer to Setup of an
Individual Ethernet LAN (see page
168).
2. If the FP Web-Server is to be connected to an existing network, the following
data must be obtained from the network administrator:
- Is there a DHCP-Server in the network? If NOT:
- IP address: Which fixed IP address can be assigned to the FP Web-Server?
- Netmask: How is the network address set up (length of the network address and/or
the participant's address)?
- Gateway: What is the gateway's IP address? (0.0.0.0 if there is no gateway to be
used).
