Figure 5-4 — System Settings page

The page is divided into two sections: IP Settings and Date/ Time Settings. There are three types of controls on the System Settings page: simple fields with no drop boxes, fields with drop boxes, and radio buttons.

•Most IP protocol variables, such as the Unit Name, IP Address, Gateway IP address, and Subnet Mask are presented in simple fields.

•The time and date variables are presented in fields with drop boxes.

•On/off and multiple choice selections are radio buttons.

All changes made on the System Settings page must be confirmed by clicking the Submit button in the appropriate section. Clicking the Cancel button abandons the changes.

IP Settings section

Unit Name field

The Unit Name field contains the locally-assigned name of the GSS. This name field can be changed to any valid name, up to 24 alphanumeric characters.

NThe following characters are invalid in the unit name: + ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : \ and ?.

Click the Submit button to take changes. Click the Cancel button to abandon them.

DHCP radio buttons

The DHCP On radio button directs the GSS to ignore any entered IP addresses and to obtain its IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server (if the network is DHCP capable). The DHCP Off radio button turns DHCP off. Contact the local system administrator to determine if DHCP is appropriate.

Click the Submit button to take changes. Click the Cancel button to abandon them.

IP Address field

NThis field is grayed out and uneditable if DHCP is on. The IP Address field contains the IP address of the GSS.

Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields (octets) separated by periods (dots). Each octet can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeroes, up to three digits total per field, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.

The factory-installed default address is 192.168.254.254, but if this conflicts with other equipment at your installation, you can change the IP address to any valid value.

NIP address changes can cause conflicts with other equipment. Only local system administrators should change IP addresses.

Click the Submit button to take changes. Click the Cancel button to abandon them.
