1.1.2 Using Add-ons
Activating Add-ons
•For using each function for extending the number of user connections, the routing setting,
FTP client, HTTP client and mail transmission (SMTP client), change "Add-on" to "Use" in
Built-in ET-LAN setting dialog box.
•When "Add-on" is set to "Not use", each communication task does not start.

1.1 Ethernet Add-ons
1-5
FTP client settings, HTP client settings and Mail settings
•When "Add-on" is set to "Use" in FP7 configuration, each communication task can be
activated.
•When setting in the setting windows of FPTc, HTTPc and mail settings, the functions are
automatically activated.
•When executing the server settings with the server setting instructions (FTPcSV, HTTPcSV,
SMTPcSV), the functions are activated at that point.
Check the box of "Use FTP client function" in FTP
client settings to activate the task of FTP client.
Check the box of "Use HTTP client function" in HTTP
client settings to activate the task of HTTP client.
Check the box of "Use Mail Transmission Function" in
Mail settings to activate the task of mail function.

Netmask setting
Masked bits should be registered in ascending order. It is not possible to set bits as follows.
Input notation Binary notation
255.255.253.0 11111111.11111111.11111101.00000000
Default gateway setting
•It may not be set according to the combination of IP address and default gateway.
•When it is not used, specify 000.000.000.000.
•It cannot be set in the following case.
(IP address AND netmask) ≠(Default gateway address AND netmask)
Judgement using the combination of IP address and netmask
•The following combination is not possible.
•IP address AND (Inverse all bits of netmask: 1's complement) = 0
•IP address OR (netmask) = 255.255.255.255
•Only when the router IP address is other than 000.000.000.000, the above combination
judgement is performed for the routing setting.
*The above combination may occur when setting to omit masks with IPv4SET instruction.
Example) When the netmask is 255.255.0.0, set the IP address to 0.0.255.255 with IPv4SET.
The set values for IP addresses, netmask and default gateway are initialized when performing
the communication process with the above combination. The defaults are as follows.
•IP address =192.168.1.5, Netmask = 255.255.255.0, Default gateway = 192.168.1.1
