5.9.2.Network Parameters

In the Text Interface, these parameters are accessed via the Network Configuration menu (Figure 5.17.) In the Web Browser Interface, these parameters can be found by clicking the "Network Parameters" link on the left hand side of the screen to display the Network Parameters menu.

•IP Address: (Default = 192.168.168.168.)

•Subnet Mask: (Default = 255.255.255.0.)

•Gateway Address: (Default = undefined.)

•DHCP: Enables/Disables Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. When this option is "On", the MPC will perform a DHCP request. Note that in the Text Interface, the MAC address for the MPC is listed on the Network Status Screen. (Default = Off.)

Note: Before configuring this feature via Telnet or Web, make certain your DHCP server is set up to assign a known, fixed IP address. You will need this new IP address in order to reestablish a network connection with the MPC unit.

•Telnet Access: Enables/disables Telnet access. When Telnet Access is "Off," users will not be allowed to establish a Telnet connection to the unit. (Default = On.)

•Telnet Port: Selects the TCP/IP port number that will be used for Telnet connections. Note that in the Text Interface, this item is defined via a submenu, which is displayed when the Telnet Access parameter is selected (item number 21.) (Default = 23.)

•SSH Access: Enables/disables SSH communication. (Default = On.)

•SSH Port: Selects the TCP/IP port number that will be used for SSH connections. Note that in the Text Interface, this option is defined via a submenu that is displayed when the SSH Access parameter is selected (item number 22). (Default = 22.)

•HTTP Access (Web Access): Enables/disables the Web Browser Interface. When disabled, users will not be allowed to contact the unit via the Web Browser Interface. (Default = Off.)

•HTTP Port: Selects the TCP/IP port number that will be used for SSH connections. (Default = 80.)

•HTTPS Access: Enables/disables HTTPS communication. For instructions on setting up SSL encryption, please refer to Section 14. (Default = On.)

•HTTPS Port: Selects the TCP/IP port number that will be used for HTTPS connections. (Default = 443.)

Notes:

•In the Text Interface, HTTP and HTTPS parameters reside in a separate submenu. To enable and configure HTTP and HTTPS Access via the

Text Interface, access the Network Configuration Menu as described in Section 5.9, then type 23, press [Enter] and use the resulting submenu (Figure 14.1) to select parameters.

•When the Web Access parameter is accessed via the Text Interface, the resulting submenu will also allow you to select SSL (encryption) parameters as described in Section 14.
