Note
Ethernet connection via the "X2 LAN2" interface
Note that you can only establish a connection to the optical reader via the "X1 LAN1"
Ethernet interface using the Primary Setup Tool. You can configure the "X2 LAN2" Ethernet
interface via the WBM "Settings > Communication > Interface > Ethernet" or using a DHCP
server.
NOTICE
Requirement for the IP address
The IP address of the optical reader must be in the same subnet as the IP address of the
communications partner.
Note that you can only set the IP address for the "X2 LAN2" interface via the WBM.
NOTICE
Ethernet interfaces in different subnets
Note that you must operate the Ethernet interfaces "X1 LAN1" and "X2 LAN2" in two
different subnets. If you do not comply, you cannot save the changes in the WBM, or if you
use PST, the IP address of the "X2 LAN2" interface is discarded.

Default Description
0.0.0.0 Gateway IP address
IP address of the network node that can establish con-
nections from within the current subnet.
This is always required when there are devices in more
than one subnet. In this case, you can only establish
connections from the reader to other devices (e.g. to the
(S)NTP server) via the gateway.
To find out whether all the devices are in the same sub-
net, you should normally ask your network administrator.
Notes
If the (S)NTP server is not addressed by the reader,
•
the gateway IP address is not required.
If a broadcast address is configured as the gateway
•
IP address, the reader cannot be configured using the
Primary Setup Tool (PST) or with the "Edit Ethernet
node..." functionality of the SIMATIC Manager. In this
case, it is also not possible to read out the configura-
tion of the reader using these programs.
-- Specifies whether this Ethernet interface is to be used as
the default gateway.
