TCP/IP Interface fields

For each Ethernet port on the connected platform, the TCP/IP Configuration platform view provides an expandable Interface n Image section.

All Niagara 4-compatible JACE controllers have two Ethernet ports: LAN1 and LAN2. In the TCP/IP Configuration view, they are listed as Interface 1 (en0) and Interface 2 (en1).

 
NOTE: A JACE-8000 controller includes an onboard “WiFi” adapter. If enabled, it appears in the TCP/IP Configuration view with multiple Interface n selections—where two have significance:
  • tiw_sap — (Titan wireless supplicant Access Point configuration)
  • tiw_sta — (Titan wireless supplicant Client mode configuration)

    Where only one mode above can be enabled, according to the WiFi switch position on the controller.

As shown above, each Interface has the following properties at the top:

  • ID

    A read-only OS identifier for the hardware interface, such as “en0” if a JACE controller, or if a Windows platform, either a 128-bit GUID (globally unique identifier) or a Windows network connection name, such as “Local Area Connection 2”.

  • Description

    A read-only text string such as “Onboard Ethernet Adapter en0” for a JACE controller, or “Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection” for a Win32-based host, describing a NIC model.

  • Physical Address

    The unique 48-bit MAC address of the Ethernet adapter, in six two-hexadecimal digits. For example, for the “en0” Interface 1 port of a JACE controller: 00:01:F0:80:13:E6

  • Adapter Enabled

    Checkbox to specify whether the Ethernet port is usable.

Below the properties above, each Interface has two separate tabs, as follows (each with properties):
