5.5.4. Network Port Configuration Menu
In order to communicate with the CMS via network, the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Gateway Address must first be defined using the Network Parameters Menu. If desired, this
menu also allows you to implement IP Security features, which can restrict access based on the
user’s IP Address.
Settings for network parameters depend on the configuration of your individual network.
Please contact your network administrator for appropriate settings, and then assign parameters
as described in this section.
To select network parameters, access the CMS Command Mode via one of the RS-232 ports,
type /N and then press [Enter]. The Network Parameters Menu (Figure 5.3) will be displayed.
Notes:
•
The Network Parameters Menu selects parameters for all six logical TCP Ports
(N1 through N6). The only exception is Item 11 (Supervisor Mode) which is only
applied to TCP Ports N1 through N5.
•
When selecting Network Parameters, you must access the Command Mode via an
RS232 port. Network Parameters cannot be changed via the Network Port. This
prevents remote supervisors from being locked out if they accidentally change
network communication parameters.
•
The Network Parameters menu is only available in Supervisor Mode.
