Network Configuration

This section is for entering the specific network settings needed for the FF240-IP to run on your network. By factory default, the FF240-IP ships with the IP address 192.168.2.1 for setup purposes. After setup and prior to connecting to your live network, enter the needed parameters for proper operation on the network where the FF240-IP is to operate.

Hostname

Enter the hostname that will be associated with this FF240-IP unit. This is what will be used in conjunction with Store and Forward faxing through email. The Fax server will check the hostname entered here and in Fax Configuration Store & Forward Fax (T.37): Additional Hosts. If an email comes from an email client not listed in either of these locations, that email will be rejected.

Description

Here you may enter a custom description for this network connection.

IP Address

Enter the IP address that has been set for this FF240-IP unit. If you are setting this FF240-IP up for the first time, remember that once this has been changed, you will have to be on the same network to make further changes.

Subnet Mask

Enter the subnet mask that has been set for this FF240-IP unit. A typical subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, though your network may be different.

Default Gateway

Enter the IP address of the default gateway on the network for this FF240-IP unit. The default gateway is what allows the FF240-IP to contact network addresses outside of the local network. This is necessary for contacting an internet time server or SMTP server.

Primary DNS

Enter the primary domain name server (if any) that this FF240-IP unit will use for name resolution of IP addresses. Changing this value will require a reboot of the unit.

Secondary DNS

Enter the secondary DNS server (if any) for this FF240-IP unit. Changing this value will require a reboot of the unit.
