9 Configuration via rotary encoding switch
You can configure the address assignment and other func-
tions using rotary encoding switches.
After modifying the switch position, restart the device, as the
modification to the switch position does not take effect
during operation.
Figure 8 Rotary encoding switch
The code results from the sum of S1x10 plus S2x1. The
image shows code 77 (7x10+7).
9.1 Remote access
Switch position 00
At this switch position, it is possible to remotely configure the
device using corresponding tools (e.g., Startup+, web-
based management (WBM)).
Behavior during initial startup, after resetting the IP pa-
rameters or after resetting to default settings
Default: BootP aktiviert, DHCP deaktiviert
A valid IP address is not assigned (0.0.0.0) and communica-
tion is therefore not possible.
The device transmits continuous BootP requests, until a
valid IP address has been received.
Valid IP parameters are then automatically saved as config-
uration data on the device.
Each additional startup
BootP activated
BootP requests are transmitted even in the case of a valid
configuration. If the device receives a BootP reply, the new
IP parameters are applied. Otherwise the device starts with
the last valid configuration.
DHCP activated
For behavior, see switch position 51 ... 159. The station
name can be selected in WBM, the default station name is
the MAC address with "-" used as the separator.
Static (BootP and DHCP deactivated)
The device starts with the last valid assigned IP configura-
tion.
9.2 Manual address assignment
Switch position 01 ... 50
Default: BootP deactivated, DHCP activated
The first three octets in the IP address are preset as
192.168.0.x.
The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Specify the last byte with the switch position.
As such, you can select IP addresses between 192.168.0.1
and 192.168.0.50.
Prior to transferring the IP address, a test is performed to
check for any potential IP address conflicts. If a conflict is
detected, the device temporarily switches the IP address to
0.0.0.0 (no IP communication). In this case, the NET LED
flashes red. Eliminate the conflict and restart the device.
9.3 DHCP name assignment
Switch position 51 ... 159
This switch position is used to easily specify the DHCP host
name for the device.
The host name is provided to the DHCP server via DHCP
options. This is therefore able to send a DNS update to the
DNS server.
The DNS name consists of one set part, which is based on
the order designation, and a variable part, which is deter-
mined by the switch position.
The first part of the station name is AXL-E-ETH-.
The set number is added.
This results in the following station names:
AXL-E-ETH-051 ... AXL-E-ETH-159.
