Login Password: This allows users to access and modify all of the iServer Home Page menu items, except “Access Control”, which requires an Administrator password. The default Login password is 12345678. This password can be up to 16 alpha-numeric case- sensitive characters. If there is no Login Password assigned (blank box) the iServer will not require a password to access and modify iServer Home page menu items.

Admin (administrator) Password: This allows users to access and modify the "Access Control" page. The default password is 00000000. This password can be up to 16 alpha- numeric case-sensitive characters. If there is no Administrator Password assigned (blank box) the iServer will not require password to access and modify "Access Control" page.

Host Name: Refer to Section 3.4, DNS.

MAC Address: This is also called Hardware address or Ethernet address, which is assigned to the iServer at production. The MAC (Media Access Control) address is the iServer’s unique hardware number and is not changeable.

IP Address: The IP (Internet Protocol) address is a 32-bit number that identifies each sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Ethernet or the Internet. The iServer’s default IP address is 192.168.1.200. The iServer’s IP address should be changed to fit user’s networking environment. Consult with your IT department for obtaining an IP address.

Gateway Address: A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network. A gateway is often associated with a router, which knows where to direct a given packet of data that arrives at the gateway. If the iServer is sending packets to another network node that is not on the same network on which the iServer is connected, a gateway address needs to be given to the iServer. The gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same LAN to which the iServer is connected. The iServer’s default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. Consult with your IT department for obtaining a gateway address.

Subnet Mask: It is a 32-bit number that is used to determine which part of the IP address is the network portion and which part is the host portion. The iServer’s default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Consult with your IT department for obtaining a subnet mask.

Power Recycle: Clicking this button will reset the power on the iServer.
