Server Network Hostname, Network Ethernet IP Addresses, Gateway, and Static
Routes. It also displays extensive network configuration information such as Network
Routing Table, Static Routes, Network Configuration Settings, DNS Configurations,
Network Host, and Network Device Settings.
Recent EAS device models include two network interfaces (or NIC). Each NIC can be
configured with individual IP addresses, either by manually entering a static IP address
(recommended) or by selecting DHCP to automatically assign network addresses.
The current IP address is displayed just above the entry field for the Server Network
Hostname. Other important network configuration info is displayed on the bottom half
of the page. See subsequent chapters for more information.
Server Network Hostname
The
Server Network Hostname
field is used to identify this individual EAS device on a
IP network. Create a unique name, so as to clearly differentiate this device from other
network devices and other EAS devices within the same facility/network. This name
can also be very important for correct functioning of e-mail. Some e-mail systems
require a fully qualified network hostname (e.g., DASDEC II.mysystem.com). If the EAS
device has been given a network name by a system administrator, this name must be
entered here.
Enter a unique
Server Network Hostname
into this text field. This must be a
continuous string of characters (no spaces), and must not contain an underscore or
any type of punctuation except for delimiting dots. Click the
Accept Changes/Restart
Network
button to enable this change.
To save any changes to the network interface (except for
Network Speed
), click the
Accept Changes/Restart Network
button.
Gateway Configuration
A gateway is needed to enable direct access to the Internet, or to other networks
within a LAN, or if the EAS device will be multicast streaming either MPEG Audio/Video
or SCTE-18.
Three radio buttons are provided to select a gateway route option:
• No Gateway
• Main Interface
• 2nd Network Interface
If a gateway is required:
• Select one of the available Network Interfaces by clicking the desired radio button.
Any network interface can determine the gateway address range, but there can
only be one gateway, and it must be within one of the defined networks.
If a gateway option is selected:
• Enter the IP Address of Gateway within the chosen network. The common value for
a gateway address ends in 1 (###.###. ###. 1).
Note
The
Server Network
Hostname
is different
from the
Server Name
found in the
Setup >
Server > Main/License
screen.
