In-Sight 3400 Installation
2.7.4 Modifying the In-Sight 3400 Sensor Network Settings
You may need to change the In-Sight 3400 sensor’s network settings when installing to a
non-DHCP network where a Default Gateway, DNS Server and Domain name are used, or when
moving the In-Sight 3400 sensor from one network to another. Refer to Appendix C for details on
changing the In-Sight 3400 sensor’s network settings using In-Sight PC Host.
1. Open the In-Sight Explorer program.
2. Log on to the In-Sight 3400 sensor.
3. On the Sensor menu, click Network Settings to open the Network Settings dialog (Figure
2-19).
Figure 2-19: Network Settings Dialog
The following network settings can be changed using the Network Dialog:
Host Name : Defines the name of the In-Sight sensor, as it will appear in the In-Sight
Network. If the local system is a networked PC running the In-Sight Explorer software,
the Host Name will automatically be inherited from the Computer Name defined in the
Windows operating system. Each In-Sight sensor has its host name set automatically
the first time it boots. For example, an In-Sight 3400 sensor's host name is
"is3400_xxxxxx". For every sensor, "xxxxxx" is given by the last 6 characters of the
sensor's unique MAC Address. For example, an In-Sight 3400 sensor with the MAC
Address 00-d0-24-14-15-16 will be assigned the host name, "is3400_141516".
IP Address : Assigns a unique identifier for each In-Sight sensor on the network, which
must be consistent with the IP address-numbering scheme of the local network.
Subnet Mask : Defines which part of the IP address refers to the network and which part
refers to the host. The network part of the IP address is the same for all hosts on the
same subnet, and the remainder is unique to each host.
