Chapter 5 Setting Up the ETC II
Configuring the Network
ETC II Network Communicator

Refer to your network administrator for the available IP address and correct
subnet mask and default gateway settings.
If you enable DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), the ETC II
obtains the network settings automatically from your network server when
the ETC II restarts. You must know the actual IP address assigned to your
ETC II in order to specify the device network address in PAS or another
application software. Use the stat ip command to view the actual IP address
assigned to your device.
NOTES:
1.
If you use the modem interface for dial-out Internet connections, set the
default gateway address to 0.0.0.0. See
Dial-Out Connections
in
Chapter 3 for more information on using dial-out networking.
2.
When you change a network parameter, the ETC II restarts the network
to accept your new settings. If you configure your device through telnet,
your current connection will be lost and you will be required to open a
new session.
To view or change the ETC II TCP server port setting, type
