5.9. Network Configuration
The Network Parameters Menus are used to select parameters and options for the
Network Port and also allow you to implement IP Security features, which can
restrict access based on the user’s IP Address.
Although the Web Browser Interface and Text Interface allow denition of
essentially the same parameters, parameters are arranged differently in the two
interfaces. In the Text Interface, most network parameters are dened via one menu
which is accessed using the /N command. In the Web Browser Interface, network
parameters are divided into separate menus which are accessed via the Network
Conguration yout menu.
Notes:
• Settings for network parameters depend on the configuration
of your network. Please contact your network administrator for
appropriate settings.
• The Network Parameters Menu selects parameters for all 16
logical Network Ports.
• The IP Address, Subnet Address and Gateway Address cannot be
changed via the Web Browser Interface. In order to change these
parameters, you must access the unit via the Text Interface.
• When a new IP Address is selected, or the status of the DHCP
feature is changed, the unit will disconnect and reconfigure itself
with the new values when you exit the Network Parameters Menu.
When configuring the unit, make certain your DHCP server is
set up to assign a known, fixed IP address in order to simplify
reconnection to the unit after the new address has been assigned.
DHCP Parameters cannot be changed via the Web Browser
Interface.
• The Network Parameters menu is only available when you have
logged into command mode using an account and port that
permit Administrator level commands (Supervisor Mode enabled.)
The Network Parameters menu allows you to dene the parameters discussed in
the following sections. Note that although the descriptions of network parameters
are arranged according to the Web Browser Interface, in the Text Interface, most
parameters are included in a single menu.
