Network settings

The Network Settings tab allows you to configure the gateway so it can connect to the Internet and send data to Efento Cloud or any other cloud platform/server. To access the Network settigns go to Settings > Network.

Important: Network configuration should be performed by someone who is familiar with your network setup. If you are unsure about any of the required parameters or settings, contact your network administrator to avoid connectivity issues.

DHCP / Static IP

The Efento Gateway supports DHCP. When the DHCP toggle is set to ON, all network parameters will be automatically assigned by your router. (Ensure that DHCP is also enabled on your router.)

Alternatively, you can manually configure the network settings. This includes specifying:

• The gateway’s IP address

• The network gateway address

• The subnet mask

• The DNS server address

NTP server

You must also configure the NTP server address so the gateway can synchronize its time. You may keep the default setting (pool.ntp.org) or enter a different NTP server depending on your network requirements.

Ethernet mode

The Efento Gateway supports two modes for Ethernet network speed configuration. By default, it operates at 10 Mbit, half-duplex with auto-negotiation disabled. If needed, you can enable auto-negotiation, allowing the gateway and the network infrastructure (switch/router) to automatically determine the optimal connection speed and mode.
