Server Name
The server name is user configurable. It is recommended users with more than one TRP-C32S
connected to the LAN assign a new name to each. When the Manager software searches for
servers on the LAN it will display the server name allowing the user to distinguish between
TRP-C32Ss.
Serial Number
Each TRP-C32S has a unique serial number. This is fixed and cannot be changed.
Password
Entering a password activates a security feature on the serial server. Once a password is
entered it will be required to access the menu and make changes.
DHCP
DHCP servers are a part of numerous LAN management systems. The DHCP field has two
selections, “Enable” or “Disable”. Arrow to the desired selection and select enter.
When enabled, TRP-C32S will send a DHCP request to the DHCP server, which will assign a
dynamic IP address, netmask, and gateway to the TRP-C32S. If a DHCP server is not available
on the network the TRP-C32S will time out after 10 seconds and the default values will remain.
When DHCP is enabled, the IP address, Netmask and Gateway fields become inaccessible and
cannot be changed by the user.
IP Address
A static IP address can also be assigned in this section of the menu. A dynamic address
assigned by the DHCP server may change if the TRP-C32S looses the Ethernet connection or
power is removed. The host (client) communication software requests a connection to the
specific IP address of the serial server. If the DHCP reassigns a different IP address the software
will not be able to communicate with the hardware. It is recommended to use a static IP address.
A static IP address is permanent and will not change unless changed in the menu. In most cases
the network administrator establishes the static address to be used.
Netmask
The default LAN netmask is configured for a Class C address. This maybe reconfigured by the
user.
Gateway
The gateway IP address allows users to access the serial server from outside the LAN.
