Server Configuration
Select 0 to configure the Device Server’s basic parameters.
IP Address
The IP address must be set to a unique value in your network. See Appendix E for more
information about IP Addressing.
Note:
The Device Server cannot connect to the network if the assigned IP
address is already in use by another device.
Gateway Address
The gateway address, or router, allows communication to other LAN segments. The
gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same LAN segment
as the Device Server.
Note:
The gateway address must be within the local network.
Subnet Mask
A netmask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that are assigned for the
host section.
Note:
Class A: 24 bits; Class B: 16 bits; Class C: 8 bits.
The Device Server prompts for the number of host bits to be entered, then calculates the
netmask, which is displayed in standard decimal-dot notation when the saved parameters
are displayed (for example, 255.255.255.0).
Telnet Configuration Password
Setting the Telnet configuration password prevents unauthorized access of the setup menu
via a Telnet connection to port 9999. The password is limited to 4 characters. An enhanced
password setting of 16 characters is available under Security Settings.
Note:
No password is required to access the setup menu via the serial
connection.
