INSTRUMENTS
IP Address Source
Displays the way the IP address was selected. Options are DHCP/Auto-IP and Static IP.
IP Address
Displays the IP address assigned to the power supply through either DHCP, Auto-IP or Static IP
sources.
Subnet Mask
Displays the subnet mask assigned to the power supply through either DHCP, Auto-IP or Static IP.
Default Gateway
Address of the network router to allow the power supply to communicate outside of the local subnet.
DNS Server
Address of the server running the Domain Naming Service. This is used for hostname addressing.
Hostname
The power supply hostname may be used instead of the IP address to create a communication link.
The default hostname is derived from the model and serial number (see the hostname in section
4.5 and 6.6.2) or it may be changed in the "LAN ➔ Configure ➔ Modify" web page
Description
By default, this is "RMX Rackmount Power Supply", but it may be changed in the "LAN ➔ Configure
➔ Modify" web page
Controller Access
The "One Client Only" setting is the default setting for the highest networking security. This setting
allows only one TCP socket to be open at a time and it disables the connectionless UDP sockets.
See section 6.6.2.
Modify
Click this button to open the window shown below
6.6.2 LAN ➔ Configure ➔ Modify Page
If you are logged in and clicked the "Modify" button on the "LAN ➔ Configure" window, the below
pop-up window appears. On this window, you may enter new values for the LAN settings. The
available fields depend on the selection of "DHCP Assigned / AUTO IP" or "Static IP". Changes to
these setting will not take place until the "Apply" button is clicked.
After changing the LAN settings, the web browser will ask to be closed. Re-open using the new address.
If the change causes a duplicate IP, the LAN Status LED and the front panel LED will blink and address
will revert to previous state. Press any front panel button to stop the blinking.
It may be required to AC reset the power supply after changing the LAN settings.
TCP/IP Mode
This selects how the power supply receives network settings. Select either:
• DHCP Assigned / AUTO IP: If this mode is selected, the network server uses DHCP to assign
the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS server. Since the server assigns these,
they are disabled (gray) on the web page. If the server cannot make the assignment, the power
supply will revert to the Auto IP method described in section 4.4. In this mode, the user may
only change the hostname and description.
• Static IP: If this mode is selected, the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway must be
entered in the window fields. The settings must be compatible with the requirements of the
network server. These settings do not change as the power supply is moved to different LAN
