1. Add the physical communication device to the setup.
In the Optional hardware view, add Ethernet Communication
Module DSE101 to an available module place.
Note that DSE101 has no parameters to be set by the user.
2. Adding Ethernet module DSE101 to the setup automatically
creates the corresponding communication interface. The interface
is named eth0 or eth1, depending on the module place used. See
Figure 150 on page 311 .

Module
a. Set the value of the autoinit parameter to Yes. The default
network parameters are for DHCP operation, that is, with
dynamic network provided IP address and other network
parameters. Normally, there is no need to override these
parameters in a LAN environment.
NOTE Even if network parameters are dynamically assigned by DCHP, the
lease time for an address can be long enough to allow at least testing.
If this is not the case, that is, if the IP address is changed each time the
QML logger is restarted, fixed IP addresses are required.
To determine the IP address QML receives from the DHCP server, you
need to open a service interface using a serial connection, and issue the
command ipconfig to list the IP networking parameters.
