Configuration of the IP interfaces
4.1
Configuration of the Ethernet interface
The Ethernet IP interface is usually configured when the gateway is commissioned
and does normally not need to be changed again. If this does need changing, you
can adjust the settings in the
IP Interfaces > Ethernet Interface
configura-
tion applet.
The gateway's DHCP function has a total of four operating modes:

1.This setting only makes sense in exceptional cases, since the gateways do not incorporate
complete DHCP servers. It is used primarily in tests or for demonstrations.
Connected devices are assigned an IP
address by the gateway.
Client
DHCP client active
The gateway gets its IP configuration
from a DHCP server in the network, sec-
tion 4.1.1 “DHCP configuration options”
from page 26 lists the DHCP options
used.
Automatic
The DHCP client is
active after switch-
ing on, after a reset
of the DHCP server.
The gateway is thus as delivered in this
condition (as also after a long reset)

2.This setting only makes sense at the start. During commissioning, it must be replaced by
the setting “off” or “Client”.
