IP parameters 
 


Settings | Network | IP parameters
 
The IP parameters are only valid up to HiPath 3000 V1.2. For other versions/variations, similar settings can be made under Basic settings.

9.10.2.1  
Area: IP interface 

IP address  
The IP address according to the LAN environment is entered here. The IP address is downloaded to the COM server and activated. Then the communication system can be reached within an IP network via the IP address of the Com server.
The IP address must be unique within the network. Any new IP address to be configured should therefore be "pinged" before it is assigned. If the IP address responds, it should not be assigned again.  

Subnet mask  
The net mask addresses subnets by masking IP address bits. It indicates the size of the subnet. You can transfer data directly from processor to processor within a subnet without having to establish a connection via a router or a gateway.

Gateway IP address  
The gateway is the next router (computer) via which the desired destination (defined by the IP address) can be reached.

MTU  
Enter the maximum Ethernet frame length. Do not change the preset value of 544 if possible!

9.10.2.2  
Area: IP access 

Inactive
The connection from the V.24/E board to the communication system is deactivated. The IP network access is then no longer available.
Slip Forwarding
(The default setting for the IP access via V.24/E board (also called COM server))
The IP address of the Com server is the same as the IP address for the communication system. The Com server works in the transparent mode, that is, all IP packets are forwarded to the IP protocol stack of the communication system via SLIP.
SLIP Routing
In this mode, the V.24/E board works as a router between the LAN and SLIP interface. The IP packets are not forwarded transparently, but according to the routing configuration.
HIP Forwarding
In this mode, the HG 1500 is used as the LAN port instead of the V.24/E. The HG 1500 works in the bridging mode, that is, the HG 1500 and the main board of the communication system have separate IP addresses that share a physical LAN interface.

9.10.2.3  
Area: Hicom 150 E Office 

IP address  
Enter the IP address with which the V.24/E board addresses the communication system. Normally, you select the default configuration for SLIP, i.e., 1.0.0.1 as the IP address.

Subnet mask  
This field describes the subnet mask at the interface between the communication system and the Com server.

MTU  
This field shows the maximum Ethernet frame length on the highway between the communication system and V.24/E board. You should not change the preset value!

9.10.2.4  
Area: Routing table 

Network  
You should not change the set values.

Subnet mask  
You should not change the set values.

Gateway IP address  
You should not change the set values.

Station type  
You should not change the set values.

9.10.2.5  
Area: TFTP server 
Using the protocol TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol), files can be transported from one computer to another computer. As a result, Hicom 150 E Office can be operated in both server mode and in client mode.
   -   Communication system in TFTP server mode: The APS is saved on the remote processor and loaded on the communication system using a "put_file" of the remote TFTP client. I.e., the client starts off the APS transfer.
   -   Communication system in the TFTP client mode: When the Hicom 150 E Office is activated with "Transfer Start" via SNMP, the communication system loads an APS from a remote processor on its own accord.

IP address  
Internet protocol address of the TFTP server (TFTP = Trivial File Transfer Protocol) that provides the APS (application program system) for the communication system.

Path  
Enter the path here where the APS is stored on the remote processor. The complete path is to be entered.

Switchover time  
Enter the time when the communication system should switch to the transferred APS. The time of day is set in the first text box and the date of the switchover in the second text box. An initiation via SNMP is necessary to trigger an immediate or time-controlled switchover after the TFTP transfer.

9.10.2.6  
Area: Interface 
If SLIP is configured as the IP access, then the baud rate of the V.24 interface on the central board can be set here in the same way as for the connected device.
