Ethernet

You can configure settings for an Ethernet connection under System > Ethernet. Here is a description of the items you can view and edit.

Item	Name	Details
1	DHCP	Toggle activated: the IP address is filled in via the network router Toggle deactivated: you must manually enter the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
2	DNS	Toggle activated: DNS address is automatically obtained Toggle deactivated: you must manually enter the primary and secondary DNS servers
3	Proxy server	Toggle activated: you can manually configure a proxy server if there is one in the network. For this, enter the protocol, hostname, port, user name, and password Toggle deactivated: no proxy server is used Note: If you use a proxy server, you will not be able to remotely access the blue'Log from VCOM, e.g. via the Datalogger overview portlet in VCOM.
4	MTU	Toggle activated: use the default MTU value of 1500 bytes Toggle deactivated: change this value only if you have specialized network knowledge
5	Hostname	The hostname allows you to access the user interface of the device via a name and not just by the IP address. The default hostname consists of "blue-x" and the last 8 digits of the hardware serial number. If you wish to change the hostname, consider the following: Avahi is used to publish the hostname to the network: the Avahi toggle should be activated. Changing the hostname will affect an active SSL certificate. See SSL certificate. You cannot change the hostname if a power control master is enabled, or if a Kaco device with update capability is connected.
