SetIP Keyword
To execute keyword SetIP type SetIP into the command line.
Description
The SetIP keyword changes the IP address of the Ethernet interfaces of the console or station.
If SetIP is used standalone, the command line feedback window lists the available Ethernet interfaces with their IP addresses.
A grandMA2 console has two network interfaces, eth0 and eth1, which are on the back of the console labeled as Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2.
To apply the changed IP address, a reboot is necessary.
Another way to change the IP address of the Ethernet-interfaces of the console or station is, press Setup I tap MA Network Configuration I column IP ETHERCON 1(ETH0) or IP ETHERCON 2 (ETH1). For more information see Networking - Set the IP address in onPC.
