The factory-installed default address is 192.168.254.254, but if this conflicts with other
equipment at your installation, you can change the IP address to any valid value.
NOTE:
IP address changes can cause conflicts with other equipment. Only local system
administrators should change IP addresses.
Gateway IP Address field
The
Gateway
IP
Address
field identifies the address of the gateway (to the mail server) to
be used if the switcher and the mail server are not on the same subnet.
The gateway IP address has the same validity rules as the system IP address (see “
IP
Address field
,” above).
Subnet Mask field
The
Subnet
Mask
field is used to determine whether the switcher is on the same subnet
as the mail server when you are subnetting (see
“
Subnetting, a Primer
” on page 131 for
more information).
The subnet mask address has the same validity rules as the system IP and gateway IP
addresses.
MAC Address field
The Media Access Control (MAC) address is hard coded in the switcher and cannot be
changed.
