To define a setting that has numbers (e.g., the IP address), press the wrench icon.
Once you have defined the settings on a page, press the disc icon to save the settings.

LAN settings

Enable DHCP: When this option is enabled, the network router will assign a dynamic IP address to the GT7.3x27. When not enabled, the LAN static IP settings (page 2) are used to determine LAN communication.

Use 802.1X: When this option is enabled, the GT7.3x27 will use the 802.1x protocol for identification.

IPv6 mode: If your network supports using the IPv6 protocol for device addresses, you can select one of the following options to use the protocol.

DHCP assigned IP address: When this option is enabled, the IP address of the GT7.3x27 is automatically assigned by a DHCP server. If you do not want to or cannot use a DHCP server, disable this option and enter the network settings into the Static IPv4 configuration section.
Static configuration: Select this option and enter the network settings into the Static IPv6 section to assign a static address to the device.
Stateless address autoconfiguration: Stateless address autoconfiguration is the process that IPv6 nodes (hosts or routers) use to automatically configure IPv6 addresses for interfaces.

LAN static IP settings

Address: The static IP address of the GT7.3x27 for LAN communication.

Subnet mask: The static subnet mask of the GT7.3x27 for LAN communication.

Gateway: The static gateway address of the GT7.3x27 for LAN communication.

DNS1: The address of the primary DNS server for LAN communication.

Time settings

Date / Time: The date and time can be manually set here.

Display format: Select between 12h or 24h time format or select None to not display the time.

NTP server: The location of the NTP server from which the time is taken automatically. The default server is displayed. To change this address, use the web interface, as only numbers can be entered in the configuration menu on the GT7.3x27.

WLAN settings

WLAN enabled: Enable or disable the terminal’s ability to communicate via Wi-Fi.

Enable DHCP: When this option is enabled, a dynamic IP address will be assigned for wireless communication. When not enabled, a static IP address must be defined for wireless communication.

IPv6 mode: If your network supports using the IPv6 protocol for device addresses, you can select one of the following options to use the protocol.

DHCP assigned IP address: When this option is enabled, the IP address of the GT7.3x27 is automatically assigned by a DHCP server. If you do not want to or cannot use a DHCP server, disable this option and enter the network settings into the Static IPv4 configuration section.
Static configuration: Select this option and enter the network settings into the Static IPv6 section to assign a static address to the device.
Stateless address autoconfiguration: Stateless address autoconfiguration is the process that IPv6 nodes (hosts or routers) use to automatically configure IPv6 addresses for interfaces.

WLAN static IP settings

Address: The static IP address of the GT7.3x27 for WLAN communication.

Subnet mask: The static subnet mask of the GT7.3x27 for WLAN communication.

Gateway: The static gateway address of the GT7.3x27 for WLAN communication.

DNS1: The address of the primary DNS server for WLAN communication.
