The module can use this IP address when it wishes to resolve the IP address for a domain name. This parameter performs the same function as the Secondary DNS parameter Secondary DNS (4.02.010) , however the address specified in this parameter will be tried first. Only when this address is unsuccessful will the Secondary DNS address be tried.

If DHCP is enabled ( DHCP Enable (4.02.005) ) this parameter becomes read-only and, until a primary DNS address is allocated to the module, will display 0.0.0.0.

If DHCP is disabled the module will initialise, on reset or power cycle, with the primary DNS address stored for the parameter.

ValueText
0Switch
1Gateway
2Strict Gateway

Specifies the operation mode of the gateway.  By default the gateway is disabled and the switch operates in normal switch mode, by enabling the gateway mode all packets are filtered by the module and prioritised before being forwarded on.  In strict mode the gateway will drop packets from unsupported protocols.

VLAN must be enabled VLAN Enable (4.02.030) when the gateway is enabled.


Parameter4.02.030  VLAN Enable
Short descriptionEnables VLAN tagging
Minimum0Maximum1
Default0Units 
Type1 Bit User SaveUpdate RateRead on module reset
Display FormatStandardDecimal Places0
CodingRW

Controls whether the module will use VLAN tagging.

When used in conjunction with Drive VLAN ID (4.02.031) network traffic from the interface will be tagged with the chosen VLAN identifier.

When default values for Drive VLAN ID (4.02.031) is set, enabling this parameter will add VLAN prioritisation to all packets helping to ensure real-time packets are not delayed by those of lower priority. If disabled, prioritisation will use the Diffserv field in IP traffic only, meaning non-IP traffic can still affect real-time IP traffic.


Parameter4.02.031  Drive VLAN ID
