Configure Ethernet Ports
The Ethernet Ports section of the IP Comms tab allows you to define the address of each port and the default gateway used by each Ethernet port.
The number of Ethernet ports varies, depending on the range to which the SCADAPack x70 device belongs.
For each Ethernet port you can configure the following:
The IP address for the Ethernet port on the SCADAPack x70 device.
Each Ethernet port needs to be on a different subnet.
The subnet mask for the Ethernet port.
You can also configure the IP address of the default gateway node through which IP communications pass if no other path can be determined for an IP address.
If the Ethernet port subnets, PPP port subnets or IP Routing Table specifies a route for an IP address, the communication is routed through the default gateway node.
If this device and the device at the other end of the connection are on the same subnet, you do not need to define a default Gateway IP Address here or a route in the IP Routing Table. This default gateway IP address must be an IP address on a subnet for an interface configured on this SCADAPack x70 device.
If you define a gateway node and you want it to be available for a specific subnet, add a route to the IP Routing Table.
The Gateway IP Address is displayed for every Ethernet port.
