The device supports different network setting sets. With those you can define settings for different use case scenarios and switch between them with just one click.
In order to change a network configuration, please log in as administrator, go to Configuration -> Device -> Network settings and press the "Edit" button of the network configuration you want to edit.
Note: After changing the Network Setting the IP address of the device may have changed. So the browser will not response until you enter the new IP adress.
If you somehow managed to create a configuration where you cannot access the device any longer, but are able to reach the device physically, you can perform an emergency procedure that resets the network configuration.
See the section Emergency recovery for details.
Warning: If you have the Disable IP Reset option active, this procedure not possible anymore.
| Status | If the shown network setting is not the active one, a button allows you to quickly activate it. |
|---|---|
| Configuration name | A descriptive name for you to recognize the settings. |
| Host name | Identifier for the system. Allowed characters are lower case characters, numbers and the underscore (a-z, 0-9, _). Changing the hostname needs a reboot of the controller to take effect. |
The Network Time Protocol automatically adjusts the system's clock and keeps it synchronous to the master clock. In order to use it, you must either provide your own NTP service or provide an internet connection to facilitate one of the servers on the internet.
| Use NTP | If enabled, the system sets its time using the NTP settings you provided. If you disable NTP, the system starts on January, 1st 1970 every time it is booted. |
|---|---|
| Timezone | Select the time zone the device is located in. You can find a more detailled list of time zones here. |
| NTP Server | Provide up to two NTP servers, either via IP address or hostname. The NTP daemon connects to the first NTP server with a higher priority. |
