Extron electronic GSS 100 DHCP radio buttons, Gateway IP Address field, Subnet Mask field

DHCP radio buttons

The DHCP On radio button directs the GSS 100 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.

NOTE: The IP Address, Gateway IP Address, and Subnet Mask fields become

uneditable if DHCP is on.

IP Address field

The IP Address field contains the IP address of the connected GSS 100. This value is encoded in the flash memory of the GSS 100.

Standard IP protocol consists of addresses comprised of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields, properly called “octets,” separated by dots (periods). Each field 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.

NOTE: IP address changes can cause conflicts with other equipment. Only local system

administrators should change IP addresses.

Gateway IP Address field

The Gateway IP Address field identifies the address of the gateway to the mail server to be used if the GSS 100 and the mail server are not on the same subnet. Standard IP protocol rules apply to the gateway IP address.

The factory-installed default address is 000.000.000.000, but if this conflicts with other equipment at your installation, you can change the gateway IP address to any valid value.

Subnet Mask field

The Subnet Mask field is used to determine whether the GSS 100 is on the same subnet as the mail server when you are subnetting.

The factory-installed default address is 255.255.000.000, but if this conflicts with other equipment at your installation, you can change the subnet mask to any valid value.

MAC Address, Model, and Part Number fields

The Media Access Control (MAC) Address, Model, and Part Number are hardcoded in the GSS 100 and cannot be changed.

Firmware field

The Firmware field identifies the installed firmware version. This field is hardcoded in the GSS 100 and can be changed only by installing a different firmware version (see “Firmware Upgrade Page”).
