General

The options on this page (except for Splash Screen parameters) are not supported. A splash

screen showing the VBrick logo is briefly displayed when you power-on the system or reboot.

The Splash Screen parameter lets you replace the standard VBrick page with a customized

page. Note that a custom splash screen must be in the .xpm graphics format used in Unix and

cannot exceed 100 KB. Be sure to check the file size. ImageMagick is freeware available on

the web that can be used to convert a .jpg file to an .xpm. You can download the Windows

binary version of this application from http://sourceforge.net/project/

showfiles.php?group_id=24099. After download, open a Command Prompt window and

type:

convert mySplash.jpg mySplash.xpm

You can also use the size parameter to change the resolution of the .xpm file. For example:

convert -size 160x120 mySplash.jpg mySplash.xpm

Time to Live Determines the number of hops that a SAP will travel before being

discarded.

Typeof Service The value of the TOS bits in the IP header of the management SAP

packets. This parameter can be used to implement quality of service

within a network.

IPAddress Determines the unicast or multicast IP address that the SAP will be

sent to.

Port Determines the IP port that the SAP will be sent to.

Show Version Choose whether the splash screen should show the version number.
