FIELD

DESCRIPTION

Date/Time

If the Date field is not changed, (e.g. stays 01/01/70)

 

the modem will keep track of the “uptime”. If the date

 

is set to the appropriate date, time is expressed by a

 

24-hour clock. Time/Date values are not preserved

 

over reboots.

 

 

S/W Rev:

Current software version running on the modem

 

 

H/W Rev.:

Current hardware version for the modem.

 

 

MAC Address:

The Media Access Control (data link layer) address is

 

the physical address associated with the modem’s

 

LAN interface.

 

 

Modem Name:

You can assign a name to this modem. Up to 14

 

characters are allowed including underlines. Caution:

 

Do not use spaces or these characters: \ / : ? “< > .

 

After you assign a name, the modem name will appear

 

on every screen in the Modem field in the upper

 

right-hand corner.

 

 

Console Inactivity Time-out:

You can enter a value for time out. The modem

 

automatically logs an operator off the network if

 

inactivity exceeds this operator-defined time out

 

setting. The default is 10 minutes. Entering a zero (0)

 

disables this feature, which means the session will

 

keep running until an operator terminates it.

 

 

Enable STP

Enable or disable Spanning Tree Protocol for bridging

 

purposes. The default is “Y” meaning “yes, it is

 

enabled.” If “N” or “No” is selected, both Master and

 

Slave should be disabled.

 

 

Enable SNMP:

Enables or disables SNMP control. SNMP requires

 

that you assign an IP address to one of the modem

 

interfaces.

 

Note: When enabled, the modem will accept SNMP

 

requests. This field enables the entire feature set

 

(requests and notifications) for SNMP. The SNMP

 

management screen provides parameters for setting

 

up SNMP. The default is “Y” for enabled.

 

 

LAN IP Address:

The LAN IP Address of the current modem. (It can also

 

be assigned in the Modem Configuration screen.)

CAUTION:

Changing the values of either the IP Address, Subnet

 

mask, or Default gateway will automatically reboot the

 

modem. The screen displays a warning message.
