Page: 29 / 153

Configuration via LC Display
On first installation of LANTIME the network parameters can only be configured
by the front panels push buttons and the LC display. Press MENU until the SETUP
menus appear on the display. The first setup menu are the LAN PARAMETERS.
Pressing NEXT further setup menus appear. Pressing CLR/ACK the LAN
PARAMETERS menu is entered. The submenu TCP/IP ADDRESS appears. Pressing
NEXT the following submenus can be chosen: NET MASK, DEFAULT
GATEWAY, IPv6 address, HOSTNAME, DOMAINNAME, NAMESERVER and
REMOTE CONNECT. CLR/ACK lets the user enter the corresponding submenu to
make changes with NEXT and INC. Pressing CLR/ACK after changing parameters
acknowledges the changes. Leaving the menu with MENU all changes are discarded
and the setup menu is displayed again. All changed settings of the LAN
PARAMETER’s sub menu come into affect not before MENU is pressed once again
and the changes are confirmed.
The unique 32 bit TCP/IP address must be set by the network administrator. The net
mask will be defined by the network. It is probable that you will need to set up the
default gateway also.
The correct connection to the LANTIME can be reviewed from any other workstation
in the network with the program PING.
REMOTE CONNECT lets the user enable or disable all connections via network (e.g.
TELNET, FTP or HTTP). If changes occur via HTTP interface or setup program the
message “REMOTE CONNECT: partial enabled” may appear. The NTP protocol will
restart after any change.
NOTE: Any HTTP, HTTPS, SSH or TELNET connection to the LANTIME is
possible only if REMOTE CONNECT is enabled!
