The E88E servers (serves) a web page where settings such as IP, netmask, gateway addresses and if the board will respond to an ICMP ping can be input. The web interface also displays the E88E serial number and MAC address. A finite number of status and faults are also displayed such as Running /Stopped, permissive, E-Stop, Manual/Auto switch position for detected devices on QCPort. The web page is where you would select the mode of operation such as Ethernet/IP, PROFIBUS, and MODBUS

​

No special software is required to configure the E88E. No more BOOTP. All that is required is a web browser. When a new E88E is purchased it is set up as a DHCP device. When the E88E receives a valid IP address from a DHCP router it is displayed on the LCD screen. Enter the IP address in any web browser, enter the username and password when prompted and make the network setting changes required. Do not forget to change the username and password for added security. When finished (Remove CR here)
reboot the E88E and it will display the new static IP address.

​

The LCD display is not required for proper operation. (ADD – The LCD display IS required to set up a new E88E)
