ADDS 5600 Linux-Based Terminal
40
The timeout value specifies in seconds for how long the ADDS 5600 will try to
get an IP address. The default value is 60 seconds. You can increase this value in
case your DHCP server waits a long time before assigning the IP address.
RFC 1541 is a backwards compatibility option that shall only be used for DHCP
servers that only handle this protocol. By default, this is disabled.
RFC 3004 makes possible to pass client-specific configuration parameters from
the DHCP server to the 5600 according to following identifiers: Vendor Class ID, User
Class ID, and Client ID.
Allow Hostname resolution forces the ADDS 5600 to set its hostname the
hostname option supplied by DHCP server. By default the ADDS 5600 will not set
hostname.
Some DHCP server might expect a client to send receipt acknowledgement
message before replying. Enable this option of this feature is required by your DHCP
server.
User classes are typically created for administrative reasons, such as to
identify all DHCP clients in a specific site or location. For example, all computers and
printers located on the same floor in an office building might be assigned or
configured as part of the same user class. If your DHCP network is large enough to
benefit from user classes, you can freely customize your DHCP environments with
them. In most cases, the user class provides a way to assign and override standard
DHCP option values set at either the server, scope, or reserved level.
Vendor classes are typically created for the enhancement of vendor-specific
DHCP functionality. Vendor classes are most helpful to vendors for managing DHCP
option assignments based on vendor-specific needs without disturbing other non-
vendor DHCP devices. With a vendor class, options are passed to devices using the
Vendor specific information option, which encapsulates the options it sends. This
helps non-vendor devices to recognize the information as vendor-specific and ignore
and discard it as needed.
Client ID represents some unique identifier for the 5600; for example, an
Ethernet or MAC ID. This type of macro makes it possible to pass client-specific
configuration parameters.
Wireless LAN
In case the ADDS 5600 detects a Wireless LAN device 802.11b or 802.11g
(PCI card, Card bus or USB adapter), you will be prompted to configure extra
settings specific to this kind of device.
The Wireless cards supports WEP 64 Bits and 128 Bits encryption:
-
For 64 Bits encryption, the WEP key will contain 10 characters in Hex
format
Â
52:B7:99:0B:A2
-
For 128 Bits encryption, the WEP key will contain 26 characters in Hex
format

52:B7:99:0B:A2:52:B7:99:0B:A2:52:B7:99
