Configuration options explained

6.2.9 FSG Health

GB

This option allows you to change the fan speed. Reducing the fan speed means less noise but higher device temperatures. When operating the device in high

ambient temperatures or the device is always in use, it is recommended to 6 increase the fan speed in order to achieve a better cooling effect.

Attention: Do not permanently switch off the fan as this can lead to excessive heat which might cause damage to your device!

6.3 Services

Every service of your FSG-3 has its own configuration page here.

6.3.1 DHCP Server

The DHCP server is responsible for giving dynamic IP addresses to the computers on the LAN. For more information, please read Networks and Router Basics.

Options	Description
Start DHCP server	Check this if you want to run the DHCP server. Do not
	run the DHCP server if you use fixed IP addresses.
Subnet mask	The subnet mask in use for the DHCP server.
Gateway	The IP address of the gateway the DHCP clients should
	be automatically forwarded to if they want to reach
	external sites. This address should usually be the FSG-3
	itself, unless a different gateway is running.
