  • Subnet-mask
  • Gateway: The controller must have a valid Default Gateway address defined.
    • If there is no gateway in the network, you can enter the same IP Address as the Static IP Address. A valid gateway address is important for the Group Call feature.
  • DNS Server 1: (option for network administration)
  • DNS Server 2: (option for network administration)
  • Hostname: (option for network administration)

• Disable Reset to Factory default settings using frontboard and I/O : If enabled, factory reset will only be possible from StationWeb. This is disabled by default.
• Read IP Address: When enabled an unregistered station will speak its IP address when the call button is pressed. "Read IP Address" is default enabled.
• Enable RSTP (for Industrial & Ex stations): Check the Enable RSTP box to enable Rapid Speanning Tree Protocol RSTP. RSTP is only required when using redundant networking
• Ethernet Speed 10 Mbits/s: Enable in some rare cases where it is not convenient to use 100 MBit/s Ethernet speed. Default Ethernet speed is 100 Mbit/s unless switch is configured to 10 Mbit/s.
