Property Description
Local Area Network
(LAN) The XT hardware has two LAN ports. Select the LAN port that you want to view or
edit. LAN 1 by default is set to DHCP (Dynamic) with a port number of 1235. LAN 1 is
recommended as the port for Office Network, but it is not limited to this option. LAN
2 by default is set to Static with an IP Address of 192.168.10.100 with Subnet Mask
255.255.0.0. LAN 2 is recommended when connecting to a controller, but it is not
limited to this option.
Machine Name Enter a unique machine name to identify this machine on a network. The machine
name can be a maximum of 15 characters, using a-z, A-Z, 0-9, or underscore. The
machine name must start with letters and cannot end with '-' or '_'.
Port Number The Xpress server makes a connection with a browser on a remote machine through
a specific port. You can set the port to a specific number. The port number must be
1024 or greater. The port number must be 4 numbers.
The default port number is 1235.
Network Connection
Disable
Select the Disable radio button to prevent networking on the specified machine. All
information should all be set to 0.
Note: Disabling the network connection through a remote browser results in a loss of
connection which can only be restored locally.
Dynamic Select the Dynamic radio button to allow the local machine to automatically go out
and request for an IP address from the server. This IP address then is used to identify
this unit on a network.
All of the information (IP address, subnet mask, etc.) is displayed but cannot be
changed in the section below Network Connection.
Static Select the Static radio button to assign a fixed IP address and other network settings
to this machine. This IP address and the Subnet Mask will be used to identify this unit
on a network.
The information below Network Connection (4 IP address and 4 Subnet Mask text
boxes) is available and no longer grayed out. Also 4 text boxes for each Default
Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, Primary WINS, and Secondary WINS are
displayed. Every IP address and subnet mask must be filled in otherwise you will
receive an error. The Default Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, Primary WINS,
and Secondary WINS do not need to be filled in, they are optional.
For further information regarding the remaining settings on this page, refer to your IT
department.
Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask required to identify the host on the network. The subnet mask
provides a means of hiding the network address portion of the IP address.
