Static IP or DHCP Client
If you select
DHCP client
the network IP address and sub-net mask must be provided by a
DHCP server on that network.
If you select
Static IP
address you must specify a unique IP address and a sub-net mask.
DHCP Server Settings.
On LAN ports 1,3 and 4 you can choose to run a DHCP server. Select the check box
DHCP
Server
. The DHCP server settings are only displayed and can be selected when the port
mode is set to
Static IP
, otherwise the DHCP server settings are not shown.
The DHCP start and end addresses must be on the same network as the port's static IP.
DNS setup
If you have access to a Domain Name Server (DNS) you can specify the address of the e-
mail server by using the server name instead of its IP address. This can be used in
Outgoing
mail server
You may statically specify the address of one or two DNS. Select the DNS source as static
and fill in IP address or addresses. Alternatively, if your DHCP server can provide a DNS
address and you have selected DHCP client above, then select the same LAN as your DNS
source.
Gateway setup
If the ACU needs to communicate with network units outside the specified sub-nets, you
must specify a default gateway (typically a router).
Sections
Preferred use
NETWORK
Host name
The host name is used for identifying the ACU in local networks and in e-
mail reports. The default host name is acu. You can change the name.
Letters (a-z), digits (0-9) and hyphen (-) are allowed as legal characters.
Note: The host name must start with a letter.
LAN Port 1 + 2 LAN port 1 and 2 are switched, i.e. they share the same IP address and
operate on the same network. This network is usually connected to the
VSAT Modem Unit.
LAN port 1 can be set to static IP (default), DHCP client or DHCP server.
LAN Port 3
LAN port 3 is dedicated as the service port. By default this port has the IP
address 192.168.0.1; the current value can be displayed in the ACU
display. It is recommended to connect LAN port 3 to the front port (via
rear connector, see the figure
page 4-1), for access to the service port from the rack front.
LAN port 3 can be set to static IP, DHCP client or DHCP server (default).
LAN Port 4
LAN port 4 can be used for connection to the LAN of the vessel or other
general purpose.
LAN port 4 can be set to static IP, DHCP client (default) or DHCP server.
