Subnet Mask
Factory Default 255.255.255.0
The Subnet Mask is used in conjunction with the IP Address to determine whether the
destination node is located on a local network segment or on a remote network.
Each logical IP Address has two parts: the NETWORK ID and the HOST ID. The Network ID
identifies all hosts that are on the same physical network and the Host ID identifies a specific
host on the network.
The subnet mask is used to filter (mask) the portion of the IP Address that is common to the local
network and thus allow individual hosts to be accessed.
If the subnet mask is changed for any reason, FastTrace will not begin to use the new subnet
mask until the unit has been power cycled.
Default Gateway
Factory Default No Gateway
For communication with VideoCentral located on another network, the FastTrace must be given
the address of the first host device on the route to the destination network (and vice versa). The
Default Gateway is the address of the host to which the FastTrace sends packets that are
destined for the remote network.
If a default gateway is not specified, communication is limited to the local network.
Note: It is important that a gateway address is only entered if a gateway is present.
Note: If a Default Gateway is to be used, Ethernet must be selected as the Main or
Backup Communications Link (refer to Call List on page 69 for details).
Note: For information regarding IP addressing when connecting through a network router,
please refer to Tech-Tips - ‘Unique IP Address Requirements’ and ‘Secured TCP/IP
Connectivity for FastTrace, FastTx and VideoCentral’ on the website at:
www.xtralis.com/adpro, or contact your nearest sales office for a copy.
Note: Refer to Firewall Configuration on page 26 for firewall port information.
Video Data Rate
Options: Full, 32 kbps, 64 kbps, 128 kbps, 256 kbps, 384 kbps, 512 kbps, 1 Mbps,
2 Mbps
Factory Default: Full
The Video Data Rate option provides the ability to control the amount of bandwidth that is used
when transmitting video data to VideoCentral. Bandwidth is a limited resource and is shared
between all users on a network.
The Video Data Rate acts like a ‘throttle’ and is useful if the network administrator needs to limit
the amount of bandwidth used by certain devices. Refer to your Network / System Administrator
for further advice regarding any bandwidth restriction or limitation.
Note: This data rate applies per user: if two users are connected at 32 kbps, the total
bandwidth used would be 64 kbps.
