SM45 Ethernet Setup
Before an SM45 supervisory module can communicate over an IP network with DCTools, the
SM45 must be set up for Ethernet communications.
Use the front panel or DCTools for configuring the SM45 supervisory module for Ethernet
communications.
Setup of Ethernet communications requires the following:
• The network administrator assigning a unique IP address to each SM45 supervisory
module to be connected to the IP network
• Setting the assigned IP address for each SM45
• Setting the net mask / subnet mask and gateway address for each SM45 as appropriate
► To configure the SM45 for Ethernet communications using DCTools
1 From the DCTools System Summary (Home) screen, click the Configuration
hotlink and
then Communications
to display the Communications view.
2 Under Ethernet, enter the assigned IP address, subnet mask and gateway address.
