Device name
The device name is registered as a NetBIOS name. Within the local network, the name of
the device - instead of the IP address - can be used to access the device. In addition to the
configurable name, another name built from the prefix
MAC
and the MAC-ID of the device
(e.g.
MAC003056A1DB30
) is registered.
Default gateway
The default gateway can be overwritten via a dynamic IP configuration, e.g. via DHCP or
when a cellular modem connection is established.
IP forwarding
If IP forwarding is enabled, the device will forward IP traffic from one network interface to
another. This is necessary for NAT, for example.
Ethernet (0)
The IP address settings of the device's Ethernet interface can be configured in this section.
Note: once these settings are changed, it may not be possible to reach the device at the
same address any more.
DNS
The IP address of a DNS server can be explicitly configured in this section. This setting is
not needed if the device is configured to get its IP configuration via DHCP or a cellular
modem connection. The DNS server is configured automatically in this case.
HTTP proxy
A proxy server that should be used for HTTP connections can be configured in this section.
The necessary information can be obtained from your local network administrator.
Open-source software
The following open-source software has been used to implement the NetBIOS name
registration:
