Honeywell K14392V1 manual Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, Updating a Units Connection

System Administrator’s Guide

Updating a Unit's Connection

1.Using Admin software, add (or update) a connection to a site. You have the option of renaming the suffix in the connection name to “WAN”, “Internet” or other useful reminder of what type of connection is being set up. See figure 3–10.

2.Assign the router’s outside IP address to the IP Address box.

3.Enable Use Network Address Translation.

4.Assign a value to the NAT Sessions Source Port. In figure 3–10,for example, the value of Sessions has been changed from 10,000 (the default) to 49,200. A value greater than 65,533 cannot be used.

5.Click Save and Close. To access the unit using View software, see Refreshing the Multi-Media Local Db.

Refreshing the Multi-Media Local Db

Operators connected to the Multi Central database can either:

•If View is running, click Refresh.

•If View is not running, run View.

For operators that are not connected to the Multi Central database, your organization's Multi SA needs to supply each of them with an updated Local database. See Producing a Local Database, on p. 242.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

Flexibility

Multi-Media units support the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). By default, Multi- Media units are not clients of DHCP.

Network administrator needs for using DHCP with DNS

The DNS registration of DHCP leases is made with the DNS specified by the DHCP server, network card properties. Contact your organization's Network administrator to obtain the proper primary DNS entry for your local client if the name is not resolved.

To Configure DHCP Using Microsoft’s Server2000 (or 2003)

1.Using the DHCP MMC, open the local DHCP Server Properties window.

2.On the DNS (Dynamic Network Service) tab, select Always update DNS.

3.Add a checkmark to the box next to Enable updates for DNS clients that do not support dynamic update.

4.Restart the DHCP service.
