The Console Server needs to know the hostnames and internet addresses of the other hosts in the network (or any hosts anywhere on the Internet) which you want to communicate with on a regular basis. For example, gateways, RADIUS, servers and so on. These hostnames are added to the unit’s Host Table. You can add up to twenty hosts. To do this;

1.From the Main menu, select ‘Network Configuration’. The Network Configuration menu is now displayed.
