any DNS enabled product will look at it local hosts.ini entries first. If it cannot find any reference
there it looks in the DNS mapping in its primary DNS server and if it is not there this will be
referred out further.
DHCP
–
If no IP address is set, the unit interrogates the network for a DHCP server, which assigns
an available IP address. This IP address can change every time the unit is powered up. Therefore, it
is recommended that DHCP be disabled by entering a suitable static IP address. You could use
DHCP to locate a free IP address, then fix the unit IP address to the free one by entering the details
into the IP address, subnet and gateway fields.
Max Transmission Rate (kbits/s)
–
Allows you to set the maximum transmission speed for the
network type, consult the network administrator if necessary.
Tx Image Buffers
–
This is used in order to improve the picture delivery over Ethernet, use 1 for a
low bandwidth connection, and 3 for a higher bandwidth. This limits the amount of frame
buffering in transmission between Annunciator and client. This is used in order to improve the
picture delivery over Ethernet when using a slow connection, e.g. 256Kbps. Options available are 1,
2 or 3 buffers.
Ethernet MTU Bytes
–
The MTU is the largest physical packet size measured in bytes that the
network can transmit, default is set at 1500bytes. This is the maximum transmission unit (MTU) in
bytes of the largest packet that can be passed through the network interface. Typically, 1500 is a
good default for most networks, speak to your network administrator if this needs to be matched
to suit your network topology.
Max Transmission Timeout (ms)
–
This is the time (in milliseconds) the unit will wait to re send a
packet if an acknowledgement is not received.
