•Enable or disable Reverse DNS Lookup, which is disabled by default. Enable this feature unless you have no DNS server configured or have poor network performance because of heavy network traffic. With Reverse DNS Lookup enabled, when a network-related event occurs, reverse DNS lookup logs in the event log both the IP address and the domain name for the networked device associated with the event. If no domain name entry exists for the device, only its IP address is logged with the event. Since domain names generally change much less frequently than IP addresses, enabling reverse DNS lookup can improve the ability to identify addresses of networked devices that are causing events to occur.

Ping utility (control console only)

Select this option, available only in the control console, to check the network connection by testing whether a defined IP address or domain name responds to the Ping network utility.

By default, the IP address of the default gateway is used. However, you can use the IP address or domain name of any device known to be running on the network.

FTP Server

Use the Access setting to enable or disable the FTP server. The server is enabled by default.
