The MAC address is a 48 bit number normally shown as a series of six hexadecimal numbers (for example, 00:AA:11:BB:22:CC).Įvery AKD is given a unique MAC address when it is manufactured and this MAC address cannot be changed. MAC AddressĮthernet also requires that every device must have a globally unique identifier called the MAC address. Ethernet requires that every device on a network segment must have a unique IP address. The IP address of a drive uniquely defines the drive on the network. TCP/IP Communication Protocols IP Address

For example, CANopen node address can now be set with the rotary switches while DHCP/AUtoIP is used for the IP address setting. This is the same behavior as setting the rotary switch(s) to '0'in Mode 0, however it allows the user to still use the rotary switch settings. In Mode 1 set the IP address using IP.ADDRESS, IP.GATEWAY, and IP.SUBNET.ĭHCP/IP independent of the rotary switches. This is common with Modbus TCP or Ethernet/IP applications.

Use this mode to set a fixed IP address for the drive which is independent of the rotary switches. There are three modes under IP Mode on the TCP/IP screen by which the IP address can be set.įixed IP address (insert fixed TCP/IP). This view allows the configuration of TCP/IP properties by selecting the IP Mode from the drop-down menu:
