6: Setup Mode: Server Configuration

default setting is N (No), meaning the gateway address has not been set. To set the gateway address, type Y and enter the address.

Set Gateway IP Address (N) ? Y

Gateway IP addr (000) (000) (000) (000)_

Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part

A netmask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that are assigned for the host part.

Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part (0=default) (0) _

Note: Class A: 24 bits; Class B: 16 bits; Class C: 8 bits

The unit prompts for the number of host bits to be entered, then calculates the netmask, which appears in standard decimal-dot notation (for example, 255.255.255.0) when the saved parameters display. The default setting is 0.

Change Telnet Configuration Password

Setting the Telnet configuration password prevents unauthorized access to the setup menu through a Telnet connection to port 9999 or through web pages. The password must have 4 characters. The default setting is N (No).

An enhanced password setting (for Telnet access only) of 16 characters is available under Security Settings (Option 6) on page 57.

Note: You do not need a password to access the Setup Mode window by a serial connection.

DHCP Name

If a DHCP server has automatically assigned the IP address and network settings, you can discover the unit by using the DeviceInstaller network search feature or Monitor Mode (see 10: Monitor Mode).

Note: When you enter Monitor Mode from the serial port with network connection enabled and issue the NC (Network Communication) command, you see the unit’s IP configuration.
