Schneider Electric AP9635 manual Port Speed, Dns

Port Speed

Path: Administration > Network > Port Speed

The Port Speed setting defines the communication speed of the TCP/IP port.

•For Auto-negotiation(the default), Ethernet devices negotiate to transmit at the highest possible speed, but if the supported speeds of two devices are unmatched, the slower speed is used.

•Alternatively, you can choose 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, each with the option of half-duplex (communication in only one direction at a time) or full-duplex (communication in both directions on the same channel simultaneously).

DNS

Path: Administration > Network > DNS > options

Use the options under DNS on the left navigation menu to configure and test the Domain Name System (DNS):

•Select servers to specify the IP addresses of the primary and optional secondary DNS server. For the Management Card to send e-mail, at least the IP address of the primary DNS server must be defined.

–The Management Card waits up to 15 seconds for a response from the primary DNS server or the secondary DNS server (if a secondary DNS server is specified). If the Management Card does not receive a response within that time, e-mail cannot be sent. Therefore, use DNS servers on the same segment as the Management Card or on a nearby segment (but not across a wide-area network [WAN]).

–After you define the IP addresses of the DNS servers, verify that DNS is working correctly by entering the DNS name of a computer on your network to look up the IP address for that computer.

•Select naming to define the host name and domain name of the Management Card:

–Host Name: After you configure a host name here and a domain name in the Domain Name field, users can enter a host name in any field in the Management Card interface (except e-mail addresses) that accepts a domain name.

–Domain Name (IPv4): You need to configure the domain name here only. In all other fields in the Management Card interface (except e-mail addresses) that accept domain names, the Management Card adds this domain name when only a host name is entered.

•To override all instances of the expansion of a specified host name by the addition of the domain name, set the domain name field to its default, somedomain.com, or to

0.0.0.0.

•To override the expansion of a specific host name entry (for example, when defining a trap receiver), include a trailing period. The Management Card recognizes a host name with a trailing period (such as mySnmpServer.) as if it were a fully qualified domain name and does not append the domain name.

•Domain Name (IPv6): Specify the IPv6 domain name here.
