Using Setup Mode for Configuration 3. At this point, the screen display is the same as when you use a Telnet connection. To continue, go to Step 4 in Using a Telnet Connection on page 4-1. Server Configuration (Network Configuration) The unit's basic network parameters display when you select Server configuration. The IP Address, Set Gateway IP Address, and Netmask fields display the current values. Figure 4-4. Server Configuration Parameters IP Address The IP address must be set to a unique value in your network. Set Gateway IP Address The gateway address, or router, allows communication to other LAN segments. The gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same LAN segment as the unit. The gateway address must be within the local network. The default is N (No), meaning the gateway address has not been set. To set the gateway address, type Y and enter the address. Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part A netmask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that are assigned for the host section. Note: Class A: 24 bits; Class B: 16 bits; Class C: 8 bits The unit prompts for the number of host bits to be entered, then calculates the netmask, which displays in standard decimal-dot notation (for example, 255.255.255.0) when the saved parameters are displayed. Table 4-1. Standard IP Network Netmasks Network Class Host Bits Netmask A 24 255.0.0.0 B 16 255.255.0.0 C 8 255.255.255.0 Change Telnet Configuration Password Setting the Telnet configuration password prevents unauthorized access to the setup menu via a Telnet connection to port 9999 or via web pages.
