14.5.4 Nucleus 2450: Network.ini File
Each Nucleus 2450 controller has its own configuration file that defines the network
connections. The Network.ini file can be edited using a text editor, for setting the IP address,
for example.
The following fields are required in the Network.ini file:
[NETWORK]
Force10M=1
The “Force10M” flag specifies whether the network speed of the
controller is limited to 10Mbits per second or 100Mbits per
second.
For Sirius 800 routers this must be set to 1, this is the default
value and sets the network communication speed to 10 Mbps.
IPAddress=
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
This specifies a standard 4 byte IPv4 address. This value is not
used if “UseDHCP” is set to 1.
SubNetMask=
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn.
This specifies a standard 4 byte IPv4 subnet mask. This value is
not used if “UseDHCP” is set to 1.
DefaultGateway=
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
This specifies a standard 4 byte IPv4 address of the default
gateway. This value is not used if “UseDHCP” is set to 1.
DNSAddress=
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
This specifies a standard 4 byte IPv4 address of the domain
name server. This value is not used if “UseDHCP” is set to 1.
UseDHCP=1
The “UseDHCP” parameter is used to specify if the Nucleus
controller should obtain an IP address via DHCP (as opposed to
the address specified in the ini file). If this is set to 1 then the IP
address of the controller is assigned by the local DHCP server
and the IPAddress, SubNetMask, DefaultGateway and
DNSAddress settings in the ini file are ignored. If it is set to 0
then the ini file settings is used. If “UseDHCP” is not specified in
the ini file then it defaults to 1.
UseSNMP=1
The “UseSNMP” flag enables or disables the SNMP features on
the controller card. If set to 0 no SNMP features are activated on
the card. If set to 1 the SNMP features are activated (subject to
the restrictions in the next section).
Note
. If this changes, the card requires a restart. If this entry is
omitted from the ini file it defaults to 0.
[ROLLCALL]
Enable=1
The “Enable” flag enables or disables the ability of the Nucleus
2450 router controller to connect to a computer running RollCall.
Set to 1 to enable RollCall connection (this is the default setting)
or set to 0 to disable RollCall connection.
StartupDelay=5
SharePort=2050
BridgePort=2600
BridgeRemoteAddress=
128.1.1.1
BridgeAutoConnect=0
Name=2450
Information1=Info1
Information2=Info2
NetNibbles=1000
UseLongNames=0
These settings are shown with their default values and they
need not be changed unless instructed to do so by SAM
