IP Address
IP Address determines a static IP address to be used for TCP/IP networking.
Consult your network administrator about how to set this value.
• If IP Address Type is set to DHCP, the IP address is set automatically by the
network DHCP server and cannot be entered here.
• If IP Address Type is set to Static, enter an IP address compatible with your LAN
here. Also enter a netmask and default gateway address in the following two
parameters. Click Apply when you are ready to apply all three entries.
• If IP Address Type is set to DHCP and there is a DHCP failure, the IP address is
set to a link local static IP address.
Subnet Mask
Subnet Mask determines the subnet mask to be used for TCP/IP networking.
• Enter a subnet mask compatible with your LAN. This is only needed for Static
IP configurations. The factory default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
• If IP Address Type is set to DHCP, the Subnet Mask is set by the DHCP server
and cannot be changed by the user.
Default Gateway
Default Gateway determines the gateway or router used on your LAN for TCP/IP
networking.
Without a properly configured default gateway (whether you have a router/
gateway or not), your HELO Plus will be unable to see other HELO Pluses on
the network, although you may still be able to control this HELO Plus via a web
browser. Also, without a proper gateway defined, the discovery feature on the
Network web page will not list other units on the network.
• Enter a default gateway or router address. This is only needed for Static IP
configurations.
• If IP Address Type is set to DHCP, the Default Gateway is set by the DHCP
server and cannot be changed by the user.
Primary and Secondary DNS Servers
In DHCP mode, reports the current DNS Server IP addresses. In Static mode,
allows entry of DNS Server IP addresses.
NOTE: If DNS servers are not present or have incorrectly entered IPs, then wherever
HELO Plus specifies machines by name (servers in recording destinations, URLs in
streaming destinations, NTP servers), the names won’t work, although numeric IP
addresses will still work.
DNS Search Path
Defines the Domain Name System search path for the HELO Plus.
MAC Address
Reports the connected HELO Plus’s Media Access Control Address.
Link State
Reports the link speed of the Ethernet connection.
