2.9.2 Network Ports
Ports act as communication endpoints in a network. The hardware configuration of your
unit will determine which ports (e.g., Eth0, Eth1, ...) are available for use. Before using a
port, it needs to be enabled and configured.
To enable & configure, or view a network port:
1.
Navigate to MANAGEMENT > NETWORK: Network Setup .
2.
The Ports panel on the right side of the screen lists the available Ethernet ports, and
their connection STATUS:
Green : CONNECTED (showing the connection speed)
Yellow : CABLE UNPLUGGED (the port is enabled but there is no cable
attached)
Red : DISABLED .
Locate the port you want to configure and click the GEAR button to enable &
configure the port, or the INFO button to view the port status.
3.
If the port is not already enabled, in the Edit Ethernet Ports Settings window, click
the Enable check box. The Edit Ethernet Ports Settings window will expand to
show the options needed to complete the port setup.
Fill in the fields as required:
Enable eth0 : [Checkbox]
Enable DHCPv4 : [Checkbox] Check this box to enable the delivery of IP
addresses from a DHCP Server using the DHCPv4 protocol.
