Settings icon interfaces icon ethernet icon Ethernet eth0

By default, IP is set *automatically (DHCP)**. When you connect an Ethernet cable, the alarm dialler automatically receives an IP address. This IP address allows you to set up your dialler remotely on the local network. For more information, see Remote setup (local).

Good to know: You can only view the Ethernet settings via Remote setup. To change these settings, use the dialler directly.

Note: We strongly recommend setting a fixed IP address if your corporate network uses a firewall.

  • Go to Settingsand scroll to Interfaces.
  • Select Ethernet eth0.
  • Click Edit and adjust the fields as required.
  • Click Save.

Explanation of input fields

Good to know: please contact your system administrator for this information.

Left-hand side: component

This component is enabled by default. Click the tick to disable the Ethernet eth0 component. If disabled, the dialler will no longer send alarms via via Ethernet eth0.

Tip: To maintain redundancy, we strongly recommend leaving the component enabled.

Web interface

By default, the web interface and any REST API1 are set to Open for local network. You can use the arrows to change this setting to Closed or Open for everyone.

Advanced

By default, this option is disabled. The dialler will then automatically determine the duplex and speed parameters.

Duplex & speed

  • Tick the box to enable Advanced.
  • At Duplex & speed, click the double arrows.
  • Select the required setting:
    • Auto Negotiation
    • Half Duplex 10 Mbps

    • Half Duplex 100 Mbps
    • Full Duplex 100 Mbps

Right-hand side: IP settings (for use with a fixed IP address)

If you do not need a fixed IP address, you can skip this section.

  • Set IP to Manual and enter the details below.

IP address

Enter the fixed IP address in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

Good to know: The term "prefix" replaces the older term "subnet mask". For example, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is equivalent to prefix /24, and subnet mask 255.255.0.0 is equivalent to prefix /16.

Enter the network access point in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

Enter the DNS servers in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
