Network

This menu provides configurable network access information for the device’s management module. This information is needed to access the device across the network (in-band management).

Table 4-7 describes each field in the Network menu.

Important: If you change the IP address, subnet mask, or default gateway, the management module needs to be reset in order for the changes to take effect. See “Resetting a Group or Device ” on page 3- 20 for instructions.

ΔNote: For instructions on using this menu, see “Configur- ing Network Access Parameters” on page 3-10.
