IP Address
– the IP address of a network TFTP server that will be used to
transfer software updates to the NetLink SVP Server.
•
DNS server
and
DNS domain
– These settings are used to configure Domain
Name services. Consult your system administrator for the correct settings.
These can also be set to
DHCP
. This will cause the DHCP client in the
NetLink SVP Server to attempt to automatically get the correct setting from
the DHCP server. The DHCP setting is only valid when the IP address is also
acquired using DHCP.
•
WINS servers
– These setting are used for Windows Name Services. Consult
your system administrator for the correct settings. These can also be set to
DHCP
. This will cause the DHCP client in the NetLink SVP Server to attempt
to automatically get the correct setting from the DHCP server. The DHCP
setting is only valid when the IP address is also acquired using DHCP.
When the name services are set up correctly, the NetLink SVP Server can
translate hostnames to IP addresses. Using Telnet, it is also possible to
access the NetLink SVP Server using its hostname instead of the IP
address.
•
Workgroup
– as set in WINS.
•
Syslog Server
– Logging can be set to
Syslog
or
NONE
. If Syslog is set, a
message is sent to the syslog server when an alarm is triggered.
The NetLink SVP Server must be reset in order to set the configuration options. If the
NetLink SVP Server is in
Maintenance Lock
, you will be prompted to reset the NetLink
SVP Server upon pressing Esc. Respond with a
Y
to the reset prompt.
The NetLink SVP Server may be manually reset by selecting the
Reset
option in the
SVP-II Configuration
screen and then pressing
Y
(Yes).
Send All
In an IP system with multiple NetLink SVP Servers, the
SendAll
option is provided to
speed configuration and ensure identical settings. The
S=SendAll
option allows you to
send that configuration parameter to every NetLink SVP Server on the LAN.
SendAll
can only be used after the IP address is established on EACH NetLink SVP Server via the
serial connection. If you anticipate identical settings across the LAN, set just the IP
address and custom hostname (if desired) for each NetLink SVP Server using the initial
serial connection. Then connect via the LAN and use
SendAll
to set identical
configuration options for all NetLink SVP Servers.
If
SendAll
is to be utilized in your system, all passwords must be identical. DO NOT
CHANGE THE PASSWORD AT THE INITIAL CONFIGURATION IF THE SEND
ALL OPTION IS DESIRED. Use the default password and change it globally if desired
after a LAN connection is established for all NetLink SVP Servers.
If independent administration of each NetLink SVP Server is desired, the passwords may
be set at initial configuration.
