# Configuring Ethernet Settings

You can assign an IP address to the display unit and define settings for Ethernet communication. These settings are used for communicating with external device, or downloading a project file.

Note: On supported models, you can update Ethernet settings by using the transfer operation. For models that support Ethernet Settings Transfer, see the following.

Supported Model/Feature List

### To assign an IP Address:

1. On the display unit, open the Hardware Configuration screen.
2. Touch the IP address in the [Ethernet1] field to display a keypad.
3. Enter the IP address.

   Note: The IP address should be in nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format, where 'nnn' is a number between 0 to 255.

4. Touch the [Save and Reboot] button. The changes are saved and the runtime application restarts.

### To set Ethernet settings:

1. On the display unit, open the Hardware Configuration screen.
2. Touch the [...] button on the right-hand side of the [Ethernet] field.
3. Set the required settings such as [Subnet Mask] and [Default Gateway].

   Note: When communicating over an Ethernet connection, communication may not be possible depending on the configuration of the destination device. If communication is not possible, try the following:

   - If you are directly connected to the destination device via an Ethernet cable, use an Ethernet Switch.
   - Match the [Auto Negotiation], [Speed Setting] and [Duplex Setting] settings with the destination device.
4. At the top of the screen, touch the [Save and Reboot] button. The changes are saved and the runtime application is restarted.

### To View the MAC Address:

Some preparation is required on the screen editing software to view the MAC address.

1. On the screen draw a string display to display a display unit's MAC address.
2. Select the string display, and from the [Properties] window, on the right-hand side of the [Current Value] field click the icon to display a list. Select [Target].
3. In the [Target Object Property Selector] dialog box, select the target property to display in the string display object: Ethernet1.MACAddress or Ethernet2.MACAddress.
4. Set [Direction] to [One Way] and click [OK].
5. From the [Properties] window, clear the [Enable Input Mode] check box.

### To View the Current IP Address and Subnet Mask:

Some preparation is required in the screen editing software.

1. On the screen, draw an Address Display part for the display unit's IP address and subnet mask.
2. Select the Address Display part, and from the [Properties] window, click the icon on the right-hand side of the [Current Value] field. From the displayed list, select [Target].
3. In the [Target Object Property Selector] dialog box, select the target property to display in the Address Display part: Ethernet1.IPv4Address, Ethernet2.IPv4Address, Ethernet1.IPv4SubnetMask or Ethernet2.IPv4SubnetMask.
4. Set the [Direction] to [One Way], then click [OK].
5. From the [Properties] window, clear the [Enable Input Mode] check box.
