Network Setup
You probably will not need to make any changes in the network setup of your CheckBox
system as most Internet Service Providers use DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol, to tell the devices connected to their network what address and other
parameters to use.
If your Internet Service Provider uses static IP addresses, or if you are connecting
CheckBox to a an internal company network you may need to set some network
parameters manually.
To enter Network Setup click on
Network Setup
on the top menu and then
Internet
in
the drop down menu. The Network Setup page will appear.
In the Network Setup
page you will see a
summary of the Internet
connections
currently
connected to each of
the
ports
on
your
CheckBox.
This page will show you
the recent data rates
(speed) and maximum
data rate on each link.
CheckBox will use this
information to determine
the percentage of the
data traffic that each
connection will carry, and will adjust this
percentage on the fly.
Clicking on the
Eth3
,
Eth2
, or
Eth1
will
take you to an Internet Access Setup
screen for that connection.
If the Internet connection is set for
DHCP (automatic configuration) the IP
address received via DHCP will be
displayed here.
If you need to set a fixed (static or
permanent IP address) click on
Fixed
and then enter the IP address,
Netmask,
Gateway
and
DNS
information in the appropriate boxes.
Click Update and then restart your
system.
