Ethernet

Last modified:

The bluelog Neo has two Ethernet interfaces. You can configure the settings for each Ethernet in the web interface under Settings > Ethernet > Tab Ethernet 1 or Ethernet 2. The following settings are available:

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.

DNS

  • Toggle activated: DNS address is automatically obtained.

  • Toggle deactivated: You must manually enter the primary and secondary DNS servers.

Proxy server

  • Toggle activated: You can manually configure a proxy server if one is present in the network. For this, enter the protocol, hostname, port, user name, and password.

  • Toggle deactivated: No proxy server is used.

  • VCOM USERS If a proxy server is enabled, remote access to the bluelog from VCOM (for example, via the Datalogger overview portlet) will not be possible.

MTU

  • Toggle activated: Uses the default MTU value of 1500 bytes.

  • Toggle deactivated: Allows manual adjustment. Change this value only if you have specialized network knowledge.

Hostname

  • The hostname allows access to the device’s user interface using a name instead of just the IP address.

  • The default hostname follows the format blue-nnnnnnnn:

    • Middle 4 digits of the hardware serial number, representing production week and year, e.g. 0525.

    • Last 4 digits of the serial number, representing the number of bluelogs produced in that production week. 

  • If you want to change the hostname, consider the following: 

    • Avahi is used to publish the hostname to the network. Ensure the Avahi toggle is activated. 

    • Changing the hostname will impact an active SSL certificate.

    • The hostname cannot be changed if a power control master is enabled or if a Kaco device with update capability is connected.

Check IP configuration

  1. Enter the IP address of the data logger in the browser address line. Alternatively, use the hostname of the device. This consists of the last 8 digits of the serial number.
