Network

Configurations with one network interface and with two network interfaces are possible.

IPv4

IPv4 settings “Turn on” checkbox activates the IPv4 protocol (if it disabled the protocol is unavailable) with access to the settings:

• DHCP is the checkbox for enabling or disabling the dynamic host configuration protocol. If the checkbox is enabled the network device automatically receives an IP address and other parameters from the DHCP server; manual settings are not available. If the checkbox is disabled IPv4 protocol settings are available:
  • "IP address": the page with the input module [Appendix A] will open;
  • "Subnet mask": the page with the input module [Appendix A] will open;
  • "Gateway": the page with the input module [Appendix A] will open;
• "DNS server": the page with the input module [Appendix A] will open;

IPv6

The setup steps are similar to the IPv4 setup description.

Speed

Network interface throughput is the maximum amount of data received or transmitted in a given unit of time.

Duplex

Communication way using network interface:

• Duplex is the simultaneous two-way transmission of information.
• Half-duplex is the transmission over one communication channel in both directions but with time division (at any given moment, transmission is carried out in only one direction).
