13. Network > Configuration

Consult your Network Administrator for the network settings.

Device name - Type a name for the Smart 116 IP. Default device name consists of the letter ‘D’ followed by the 6-digit device number (D.N.) found on the silver label on the underside of the Smart 116 IP box.

First TCP Port - Choose 3 consecutive ports, and type in the first port number of the series. The default port – 900 – is suitable for the majority of installations.

Note

Firewall or router security access list must enable inbound communication through the selected TCP ports for the Smart 116 IP’s IP address.

For Client computer access from a secured LAN, the selected ports should be open for outbound communication.

13.1 LAN 1

Under LAN 1 in Figure 12, is the following:

Enable DHCP – When a DHCP server is active on the same network to which Smart 116 IP is connected, DHCP provides automatic IP assignment.

When DHCP is disabled – (Recommended) – You can assign a fixed IP address to the Smart 116 IP.

Consult your Network Administrator regarding the use of the DHCP. Note! Where you have access to the server – your configured (or default) Smart 116 IP device name will appear on the DHCP server’s interface, making it easy to locate.

When DHCP is disabled, enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway for LAN 1, as given by your Network Administrator.

13.2 KVM.net

KVM.net is a centralized IP based system for secure control of servers and network devices, power and user administration in the data center environment. KVM.net combines Out-Of-Band, KVM via IP access with modern IT standards and
