IP Address

The B051-000 can either have its IP address assigned dynamically when starting up (DHCP), or it can be given a fixed IP address.

•To have an IP address assigned automatically by a DHCP server, select the Obtain an IP address automatically button. Note: If the B051-000 is on a network that uses DHCP to assign network addresses, and you need to ascertain its IP address, contact your system administrator.

•To specify a fixed IP address, select the Set IP address manually button and fill in the IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway that are appropriate for your network.

DNS Server

The B051-000 can either have its DNS server address assigned automatically, or a fixed address can be specified.

•To assign a DNS server address automatically, select the Obtain DNS server address automatically button.

•To specify a fixed address, select the Use the following DNS server address button and fill in the required information.

Finishing Up

After making any network changes, be sure Reset on exit on the Customization page has been enabled (there is a check in the checkbox), before logging out. This allows network changes to take effect without having to power the B051-000 off and on.

Security

The Security page is used to control access to the B051-000.

The settings on this page are described below:

Overview

•IP and MAC Filters control access to the B051-000 based on the IP and/or MAC addresses of the computers attempting to access the system. If any filters have been configured, they appear in the IP Filter and/or MAC Filter list boxes.

•The Default web page name lets the Administrator specify a login string (in addition to the IP address) that users must include when they access the B051-000 with a browser.

Users must include the forward slash and the string along when they specify the IP address. For security purposes, we recommend that you change this string from time to time.

For example: entering abcdefg in the Default web page name field will require users to type in 192.168.0.126/ abcdefg to access the B051-000 remotely.

Note: If no string is specified here, anyone can access the B051- 000 with a Web browser using the IP address alone. This makes the installation less secure.

Filtering

To enable IP and/or MAC Filtering, click the IP Filter Enable and/or MAC Filter Enable checkbox. There are a maximum of 100 filters allowed for each.

•If the include button is checked, all the addresses within the filter range are allowed access to the B051-000; all other addresses are denied access.

•If the exclude button is checked, all the addresses within the filter range are denied access to the B051-000; all other addresses are allowed access.
