Console Port Speed

 

Select the console port speed from the drop-down list box. Choices are 9600, 19200 and 38400.

 

 

 

 

The default setting is 9600.

 

 

 

 

If you change the console port speed, make sure you also make the same

 

 

 

 

change to the terminal emulator software.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Administration Idle-

 

Specify how many minutes (between 1 and 1440) the web configuration can be left idle before the

 

 

Timeout

 

session times out. After it times out you have to log in with your password again. Very long idle

 

 

 

 

timeouts may have security risks. The default is 5 minutes.

 

 

 

 

This does not apply to the SMT.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

User Session Limit

 

Use this field to limit how many session connections per subscriber. Select 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320,

 

 

 

 

or 640.

 

 

 

 

Select UnLimited to not impose a restriction on the number of session connections per subscriber.

DHCP Client

Select this option to set the VSG to obtain an IP address and other network information from a

 

DHCP server on the network.

Select this option to configure the VSG to use a static (fixed) IP address. Then set the following

 

fields.

 

 

Specify IP Address

Enter the static WAN IP address assigned to you by your ISP or network administrator.

 

 

Subnet Mask

Enter the subnet mask depending on your network needs. The default is 255.255.255.0. Refer to

network.

 

If you enter a number between 8000 and 8099, you need to append the port number to the WAN

 

port IP address to access the web configurator. For example, if you enter “8000” as the web server
