Mode The mode is used to define whether a static IP con-
figuration from the device memory has to be used,
or a dynamic configuration should be performed via
DHCP instead.
xxx
IP address This setting is only used in static mode. Here, the
static IP address of the device is configured. In dy-
namic mode, this parameter is supplied by the
DHCP server.
xxx

static subnet mask of the device is configured. In
dynamic mode, this parameter is supplied by the
DHCP server.

static IP address of the default gateway to be used
is configured. In dynamic mode, this parameter is
supplied by the DHCP server. The default gateway
is required to allow communication across network
boundaries. This is defined by means of the subnet
mask.
xxx
DNS server This setting is only used in static mode.Here, the
static IP address of the DNS server to be used is
configured. In dynamic mode, this parameter is
supplied by the DHCP server. The DNS server is
used to perform name resolutions, e.g., for an NTP
time server.
xxx
Device name The device supports the NetBios name service.
With this protocol, the device can be addressed
using a host name, without knowing the IP address
of the device. The device has three NetBios names.
Two of these names are manufacturer-specific and
cannot be modified. You can change the third
name. The following names have been defined:
First manufacturer-specific NetBios name: <DE-
VICE_NAME> (e.g., EEM-MA770)
Second manufacturer-specific NetBios name:
eem<SERIAL_NUMBER> (e.g.,
eem1234567890)
User-specific NetBios name: <YOUR_DE-
VICE_NAME> (default: <DEVICE_NAME>)
