Using E5810 Web Access

 

Viewing and Modifying Configuration

 

 

Parameter

Description

[Default]

 

 

 

Hostname

This value configures the internet domain name for the E5810.

[None]

Hostnames are useful when IP addresses are being assigned by a DHCP

 

Server, since the Hostname will not change despite DHCP Server

 

changes and device IP address changes.

 

If a Hostname is entered, the E5810 will try to register this name when it

 

boots. The E5810 can only register the Hostname if the network has

 

Dynamic DNS. If the network does not have Dynamic DNS, this value is

 

not used. Since you can always use the IP Address or the name (possibly

 

supplied by another name Server), the Hostname is not a required

 

configuration value.

 

You may enter up to 35 characters for the Hostname. The Hostname

 

must start with a letter and consists of upper and lower case letters and

 

digits and dashes. There is no default Hostname. If a Hostname is

 

displayed on the Welcome page, it is a valid Hostname, since one was

 

found on the network through DNS.

 

 

I/O Timeout

This value sets the Server I/O timeout in seconds. It configures the E5810

[120 sec]

to use an I/O timeout of the specified amount of seconds if the client

 

requests a timeout of infinity. If 0 is specified for this value and the client

 

requests an infinite timeout, the E5810 will use a timeout of infinity as

 

requested.

 

Setting the I/O timeout to 0 is NOT recommended, as this can result in the

 

E5810 waiting indefinitely for an I/O operation and effectively “hang” the

 

E5810.

 

This timeout value may be used to ensure that the E5810 does not wait

 

indefinitely for an I/O operation. It also allows the E5810 to detect certain

 

network events (such as when a client connection is dropped) that may

 

otherwise go undetected. If the E5810 detects such a condition, it will

 

release any resources, such as locks, associated with the client.

 

This value also allows the E5810 to detect certain network events, such

 

as when a client connection is dropped. If the E5810 detects such a

 

condition, it will release any resources, such as locks, associated with the

 

client. The factory default setting is 120 sec.
