6 Server Properties
There are four ways to access the Server Properties and program the MLB-S4101: Manager software, Console mode,
Telnet or Web Server.
Instructions on how to move around in the user interface and change settings pertains to the Manager software are similar
in others.
6.1 Server Name
The server name is user configurable. It is recommended users with more than one MLB-S4101 connected to the LAN
assign a new name to each. When the Manager software searches for servers on the LAN it will display the server name
allowing the user to distinguish between MLB-S4101s.
6.2 Serial Number
Each MLB-S4101 has a unique serial number. This is fixed and cannot be changed.
6.3 Password
Entering a password activates a security feature on the serial server. Once a password is entered it will be required to
access the menu and make changes.
6.4 DHCP
DHCP servers are a part of numerous LAN management systems. The DHCP field has two selections, “Enable” or
“Disable”. Arrow to the desired selection and select enter.
When enabled, MLB-S4101 will send a DHCP request to the DHCP server, which will assign a dynamic IP address,
netmask, and gateway to the MLB-S4101. If a DHCP server is not available on the network the MLB-S4101 will time out
after 10 seconds and the default values will remain. When DHCP is enabled, the IP address, Netmask and Gateway fields
become inaccessible and cannot be changed by the user.
