Instruction Manual

Ethernet Address (MAC Address)

This is the Ethernet hardware address of this unit's LAN/WAN port. It is set at the factory and cannot be changed. You may need this number to configure your DHCP server.

Ethernet Bridging

When Ethernet bridging is enabled, the two Ethernet ports are virtually connected inside the SV1115IPEXT. Packets arriving on either port that are not meant for it will be forwarded out to the other port, when appropriate. IEEE-802.1d (“Spanning Tree Protocol”) is implemented to avoid broadcast storms and to determine the topology of the network.

You may connect both the WAN and LAN ports to the same logical network through redundant Ethernet switches. If one switch fails, the other will be used. When bridging is enabled, both ports share the same configuration (DHCP or static IP addresses) and the WAN port may not be separately configured. Using DHCP with Bridging increases boot time, because the 802.1d (STP) algorithm must finish before the DHCP broadcast can go out. To change this setting, select either Enabled or Disabled from the drop-down menu and click Commit and Apply.

User Accounts

This menu will allow you to add accounts other than admin to the system. These accounts will not have the authority to change settings, but can access the Web interface and log into the VNC console. Selecting Delete permanently removes the user from the system. If you enter values for a user that does not already exist under Edit User Details, the system will create that user for you when you click Record changes. If the user already exists, you will change the password for that user.

Machine Name

This is a name that is used to uniquely identify this machine. You might want to create a DNS entry that matches this name. The name is provided as the Client Name for the DHCP server. It is also shown at the top of each page in the web browser interface and is the “desktop name” for VNC clients.
