10.10 Network
Every PC in a network has its own identification number, the IP
address. Depending on the configuration, this number is either
automatically or manually assigned to the individual PCs, or in this
case the DAR300.
! Important: A DAR300 connected to a signal PC
(directly or via a router or hub) represents a "network".
The IP address allows any computer on the network to recognise
the DAR300 and the user can
copy, delete or rename the files or modify properties (e.g. title
information). Folders can be modified just the same.
The advantage of a fixed IPI address is that the DAR300 does not
receive a new IP address every time it is restarted, but is always
accessible at this address. The disadvantage is that the user has to
plan his network. No planning is required if an automatic IP
address is used.
The default setting for the DAR300 is to obtain the IP address
automatically.
Some of the following parameters should therefore only be
changed by users who have a basic knowledge of computer
networking.
Device: Ethernet or WLAN
If a WLAN adapter is connected to the USB port, press OK to
toggle between "Ethernet" and "WLAN".
Press OK to change the display to "WLAN".
Press OK again to change the display to "Ethernet".
Press to set the parameters.
Auto Config: On / Off
Press OK to change the display to "Off".
Press OK again to change the display to "On".
The Auto Config parameter allows the DAR300 to configure itself
in the network. This setting is preconfigured and recommended.
If Auto Config is set to "On", the following four parameters are
displayed in grey or on the display of the DAR300 with a plus sign
before the parameter name and cannot be changed.
Press to set the parameters.
IP Address
The IP address can only be entered if the Auto Config setting is
"Off". The DAR300 IP address is set to 192.168.001.101 in
the plant.
Important: The first six digits (here: 192.168.) are the same in all
private networks and cannot be changed. The next three digits
(here: 001) must match for all devices on the network, so that any
device on the network can "find" any other. The combination of
the last three digits (here: 101) can only be assigned once in a
network, so that each device can be uniquely identified by another
in the network.
