System Settings Page Elements

Back:	Saves the changes and returns to the previously active touch panel page.
Connection Status icon:	This visual display of the connection status allows the user to have a current
	visual update of the panel’s connection status, regardless of what page is
	currently active.
	• A Lock only appears on the icon if the panel has established a connection
	with a currently secured target Master, which requires a username and
	password.
IP Settings:
DHCP/Static	Sets the panel to either DHCP or Static communication modes.
	• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) assigns IP Addresses from
	client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network via a DHCP server.
	• Static IP is a permanent IP Address that is assigned to a node in a TCP/IP
	network.
IP Address	Sets the secondary IP Address assigned to the panel.
Subnet Mask	Sets a subnetwork address to the panel.
	• Subnetwork mask is the technique used by the IP protocol to filter messages
	into a particular network segment (Subnet).
Gateway	Sets a gateway value to the panel.

	different types of networks/applications or acts as a go-between two or more
	networks that use the same protocols.

Primary DNS	Sets the address of the primary DNS server used for host name lookups.
	• DNS (Domain Name System) is software that lets users locate computers on

	DNS server maintains a database of host names for its domain and their
	corresponding IP Addresses.
Secondary DNS	Sets a secondary DNS value to the panel.
