Common Functions on the ETHWAY and TCP/IP Profile
Original instructions
Duplicate MAC Address
Detecting a duplicate MAC address (defined by the code selector) between stations that have a Schneider MAC address is done when the device is switched on.
So that this detection is operational, the connection cable to the network must be plugged in before being switched on.
The RUN and ADR LEDs light up on the front panel of the module when a duplicate is detected.
Managing IP Parameters
In a closed architecture you may choose not to configure IP parameters and to keep the default values.
In an open TCP/IP architecture, the IP parameters (IP address, subnet mask, gateway address) must be configured.
The default value of the local IP address is derived from the MAC address (its uniqueness is not guaranteed in an open TCP/IP architecture). It is a class A IP address.
The default value of the subnet mask is 0.0.0.0 (no subnet knowledge).
The default value of the default gateway is 0.0.0.0 (no IP gateway knowledge).
