To open the Edit device settings dialog, click the button . Device-specific values mainly required for the Ethernet network connection are entered in the device settings.

Owner

If the ibaM-COM device has already been configured, the last owner is displayed here; otherwise it is empty (when shipped, or after resetting defaults). The owner corresponds to the computer name on which ibaPDA is installed and from which this device was last configured. The entry is made automatically, and is read-only.

Lock settings

When this function is enabled, read and write access to the device configuration is blocked for other ibaPDA systems.

Device name

The name of the device. If DHCP is enabled, and there is a DHCP/DNS server in the network, the device can be connected via this name.

Enable IP settings (only in a routed network)

If the IP settings are activated, you can enter the IP address of the device, subnet mask and gateway. The IP settings are required in the routed network, i.e. if the device and the ibaPDA computer are not in the same LAN.

This option is not enabled by default and the fields are grayed out.

IP address

The IP address of the device. If DHCP is enabled, this field is read-only.

Subnet mask

The subnet mask of the IP settings. If DHCP is enabled, this field is read-only.

Gateway

The gateway of the IP settings. If DHCP is enabled, this field is read-only.

DHCP

If DHCP is not enabled, a static IP address must be selected. If DHCP is enabled, the IP address of a DHCP server in the network is obtained if possible.

DHCP can only be enabled if the IP settings are enabled.

Example of a device setting (with fixed IP address, without DHCP):

When you click <OK> to apply the settings, the following message appears and the dialog window closes:

The Discovery tab displays the configured ibaM-COM device.
