Pinging a Data Device
To ping a device listed in the Status window to verify that it is communicating properly with the Services Router, click the Ping Test button. The system pings the device you selected and reports the status.
Adding DNS Names for Static IP Devices
The Services Router uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for automatically assigning IP addresses to devices on your network. However, if there are network devices that require static IP configuration or if you wish to assign certain permanent devices to be used as servers (for example, a camera) you need to assign a host name and static IP address for them. Here’s how:
1.Click the Data Devices > Static IP tab.
2.Click Add Static IP.
3.Assign a device name and an IP address for each data device. You can assign the same IP address to multiple devices; however, the hostname must be unique.
IMPORTANT: Static IP addresses must start with 192.168.101.<nnn>. The last octet must be in the range 2 to 254. Do not use the same IP address for different devices.
4. When you have finished making your changes, click Commit.
Deleting a Static IP Address
1.Click the Data Devices > Static IP tab.
