Communication Port IP Address
Possible Settings: 000.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255, Clear
Default Setting: 000.000.000.000
Specifies the IP address needed to access the unit when the COM port is configured as
a network communication link. The IP address is only in effect when the Communication
Port Use configuration option is set to Net Link (see Table 5-10).
000.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255 – Shows the communication port IP address,
which you can view or edit. The first digit (i.e.,
xxx
.255.255.255) cannot be 0 or 127, or
greater than 223. However, 000 is valid, representing a null address.
Clear – Clears the IP address for the communication port and fills the address with
zeros (i.e., 000.000.000.000).
