Chapter 7:Setting Parameters
Network
Use DHCP
When “Use DHCP” is set to ‘Y’, the IP address and subnet mask are always
taken from the DHCP server.
The sub-menu attached to this parameter offers two options – DHCP or Local. If
‘Network Info’ is set to DHCP, the DNS server (IP), the DNS suffix (Domain) and
the default gateway will also come from the DHCP server. If ‘Network Info’ is set to
Local, these values will be taken from the locally configured (terminal) values.
Note: If “Use DHCP” is set to “Y”, the “IP Address” parameter (see page 184)
should be left blank.
Use DNS
Setting “Use DNS” (Domain Name System) to ‘Y’ allows access to your DNS
server. The options in the sub-menu – DNS IP and DNS Domain – allow you to
specify the IP address and domain name of your DNS server. The DNS domain is
appended to any host name that does not include a suffix. For example, if your
applications menu includes the server name Jack, and the DNS Domain is
teklogix.com, the DNS server is queried for the IP address of Jack.teklogix.com.
Ether Packet Sz
This parameter determines the maximum allowable size of the data packet sent from
the terminal to the host. The possible values are: 1500, 512, 1024, 1490. The default
value is 1500.
Note: Normally, this parameter should be left at the default value of 1500.
However, if you are using a token ring access point with direct telnet
connections, the ‘Ether Packet Sz’ parameter should be set to 1490.
