•
Default Gateway: Sets the IP default gateway address
Default: 0.0.0.0
•
IP DNS: Enables/Disables DNS client on the module
Default: disable
•
Pri DNS: Sets the Primary DNS IP address
Default: 0.0.0.0
•
Sec DNS: Sets the Secondary DNS IP address
Default: 0.0.0.0
•
DHCP Client: Enables/Disables DHCP Client
Note:
o
DHCP info parameters DHCP netmask, Gateway, DNS and DHCP server will be set if the module obtains IP address from DHCP server
successfully. These cannot be modified.
o
If DHCP Client fails to contact the DHCP Server, after a finite number of retries, initializes the eth0 with static ip address. It checks periodically
and retries to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server
Default: enable
•
IP Address: If DHCP is disabled, sets the static IP address of the module. If DHCP is enabled, the ip address given by the DHCP server is displayed and its
not configurable.
Note:
o
When the static ip address is modified, the browser gets redirected to new ip address.
Default: 192.168.2.1
•
TFTP: Enables/Disables TFTP Server. On enabling the TFTP Server, the network administrator can upload the firmware to the flash
Notes:
TFTP application is associated with "inetd" application
Configuration change of TFTP service calls for a re-initialization of "inetd", eventually closes all the current session that are associated with "inetd"
The other application(s) that are associated with "inetd" are Telnet Server
Hence when enabling/disabling TFTP through a Telnet configuration, would terminate the current telnet sessions
Default: enable
•
TCP Keepalive: Sets the tcp keepalive timeout (minutes) value. This is used to terminate the TCP session if there is no traffic
Default: 3 minutes
•
Autodiscovery: Enables/Disables Auto-discovery to broadcast (MAC Level), the MAC-address, IP address and DHCP information to server port configured
(default 1020)
Default: enable
•
Server Port: Sets the Auto Discovery Manager Server port
Default: 1020
•
Broadcast Timer: Auto-discovery packet granularity of periodic Broadcasting
Default: 10 seconds
•
AG Server: Starts the UDP server on port 526. Starts a Tcp server on port 599. Uses proprietary Multitech Asynchronous Gateway Protocol (AG).
o
Discovery mechanism - UDP server responds with UDP unicast packet to the UDP broadcast packet from WinMCSI Port Redirector
o
Status mechanism - TCP server responds to the Status Request packet from the WinMCSI Port Redirector Client
Default: disable
•
Auto Dialout: Enables/Disables Auto-Dialout feature globally on the module
Default: enable
•
Auto Dialin: Enables/Disables Auto-Dialin feature globally on the module
Default: disable
Telnet Configuration
•
Telnet: Enables/Disables the Telnet Server used for Command Line Configuration. On disabling Telnet server, the administrator cannot configure the IP
Module through Telnet. The only option is to connect through a terminal application over the Serial port
Default: enable
•
Telnet Port: Sets the telnet port used for Command Line Configuration
Notes:
Telnet application is associated with "inetd" application
Modification to the telnet port calls for a re-initialization of "inetd". This inturn closes all the current session that are associated with "inetd"
The other application(s) that are associated with "inetd" are TFTP Server. Hence, invoking this command would terminate the current telnet sessions
Default: 23
•
Escape Monitor: Enables/Disables ‘‘monitor’’ flag to scan escape sequence and switch to command mode during Manual dialout session
Default: enable
•
Escape String: Sets the escape string to be scanned during Manual Dialout session to switch to command mode
Default: +++inet
