LinkManager User 4.3. Configure the SiteManager Network settings Note: If you want to connect to a device in the same network as the Up- link interface (ref. section 2.2), or if you want to connect a Serial or USB device to the SiteManager, you do not need to configure or connect any- thing to the DEV port of the SiteManager, and you can jump straight to section 4.4 on page 20. The following steps assume we want to connect a device to the DEV port of the SiteManager, and create a separated device network. 30. Unless your device has an IP address already in the default DEV net- work of the SiteManager (10.0.0.0/24) you must change the IP address of the DEV port on the SiteManager. IMPORTANT:
This IP address must match the subnet of the device, and it must not, be in the same IP subnet as the Uplink port. Select Edit on the DEV port: 31. The PLC in our example has IP address 172.24.2.129/24 (/24 means it has subnet mask 255.255.255.0). So the address for the DEV port must be a free address in this subnet (172.24.2.x) , for instance 172.24.2. 128 . Select Save and Continue Setup Hint: If your device is configured to receive an IP address from a DHCP server, you could have enabled DHCP in this menu, which would make the SiteManager act as a DHCP server that assigns IP addresses to devices on the DEV network.
You can even lock the DHCP lease to a device MAC address, so your device will always receive the same IP address. Secomea GateManager5 BASIC Guide Page 18 of 26
