Quatech DSE-410D manual Server Name, Password, IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway Properties

Server Name

You can enter a new Server Name of up to 16 characters. If you have more than one DSE-410D Server on the LAN we recommend that you assign a new name to each. When the DSE-410D Manager finds DSE-410D Servers on the LAN it displays the Server name and IP Address allowing the user to distinguish between several DSE- 410D Servers.

Password

Entering a password activates a security feature on the DSE-410D. Once a password is entered it will be required to access the menu and make changes.

DHCP

DHCP servers are a part of numerous LAN management systems. The DHCP field has two selections, “Disable” or “Enable”. Select, then Tab to another property. Telnet/Console: Arrow to the desired selection and select enter.

Disable is the normal/default setting. When enabled, DSE-410D will send a DHCP request to the DHCP server, which will assign a dynamic IP address, net mask, and gateway to the DSE-410D. If a DHCP server is not available on the network, the DSE-410D will time out after 10 seconds and the default values will remain.

IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway Properties

The Network Administrator can provide IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway address information.

All three fields will have to conform to your LAN for proper operation.

IP Address

Assign a static IP address using this property. A static IP address is retained and used each time the Server is powered up or starts/restarts. Software or hardware attempting to access the Server will need to use the static address to access the Server. The Network Administrator will assign/establish the static address or group of addresses to be used. The default IP address, such as IP 192.168.0.1, is shown on a label affixed to the bottom cover.

A dynamic address assigned by the DHCP server may change if the DSE-410D looses the Ethernet connection or power is removed. The host (client) communication software requests a connection to the specific IP address of the DSE-410D. If the
