Table 4-2 General Configuration Screen Field Descriptions

Use this field…	To…
MAC Address	See the base physical address of the device.
(Read-Only)
IP Address	See the IP address for the device. To set the IP address, refer to
(Modifiable)	Section 4.2.1. The IP address can also be set through Runtime IP
	Address Discovery.
	Runtime IP Address Discovery enables the device to automatically
	accept an IP address from a Boot Strap Protocol (BootP) server on the
	network without requiring a user to enter an IP address through Local
	Management.
Subnet Mask	See the subnet mask for the device. A subnet mask “masks out” the
(Modifiable)	network bits of the IP address by setting the bits in the mask to 1 when
	the network treats the corresponding bits in the IP address as part of the
	network or subnetwork address, or to 0 if the corresponding bit
	identifies the host. When an IP address is entered in the IP Address
	field, the Subnet Mask field automatically changes to the default subnet
	mask for that IP address. For details about how to change the subnet
	mask from its default value, refer to Section 4.2.2.
Default Gateway	See the default gateway for the device. This field is not defined until an
(Modifiable)	appropriate value is entered. For details about why and how to set the
	Default Gateway, refer to Section 4.2.3.
TFTP Gateway IP	See the TFTP Gateway IP address for the device. To set the TFTP
Addr	Gateway IP address, refer to Section 4.2.4.
(Modifiable)
Module Name	Enter a new system name. To enter a new system name, refer to
(Modifiable)	Section 4.2.5.
