4.4.1 Network settings

Click on "Network" in the menu.

This menu enables the administrator to configure the network parameters of the card and authorisation of the remote upgrade of the embedded system.

IP Address: The IP address of the card (e.g.: 166.99.22.252).

Subnet Mask: The mask of the sub-network of your network (e.g.: 255.255.255.0).

Gateway Address: Indicate the IP address of the gateway to access the stations located outside the card’s subnet

(e.g.: 166.99.17.1).

Hostname must be suited to the card. This is the first part of the fully qualified domain name, used by the DNS.

As the card does not support NetBIOS protocol, the hostname will only be sent to DNS if the DHCP server sends it the hostname with the new IP address. This mechanism is described in the update of the DNS protocol RFC 2136

Domain Name is the domain to which the card belongs. This is the part of the fully qualified domain name that follows the hostname and is used by the DNS. The default value of the two parameters comprising the fully qualified domain name: ups.domain.com

BOOTP/DHCP: Authorises (choose "Enabled") configuration of network parameters with your BootP/DHCP server when the card is booted.

Mode of card operation with server: After each startup, the card makes 5 attempts to recover the network parameters. If no response is received from the server, the card boots with the last saved parameters from the previous start. These parameters are those shown on the page.

The default value for this parameter is "Enable" Note 1:
