Network Setup
You probably will not need to make any changes in the network setup of your CheckBox
system as most Internet Service Providers use DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol, to tell the devices connected to their network what address and other
parameters to use.
If your Internet Service Provider uses static IP addresses, or if you are connecting
CheckBox to a an internal company network you may need to set some network
parameters manually.
To enter Network Setup click on
Network Setup
on the top menu and then
Internet
in
the drop down menu. A page titled
Current Internet Configuration
will appear.
On this page you will see a summary of the Internet connections currently connected to
each of the ports on your CheckBox.
This page will show you the recent data rates (speed) and maximum data rate on each
link. CheckBox will use this information to determine the percentage of the data traffic
that each connection will carry, and will adjust this percentage on the fly.
Only Internet ports that have been activated will be displayed here.
If the Internet connection is set
for
DHCP
(automatic
configuration) the IP address
received via DHCP will be
displayed here.
If you need to set a fixed (static
or permanent IP address) click
on
Setup
and then enter the IP
address, Netmask, Gateway
and DNS information in the
appropriate boxes. Click Update
and then restart your system.
You can test each Internet
connection’s speed by clicking
on
Link Speed Test
.
Local Address
Local Address refers to the IP addresses the CheckBox system assigns to users on the
system. By default this address is in the 192.168.17.xxx range. This setting should not
be changed under most circumstances. If there is a need to change this address range,
select
Network Setup
on the top menu and then
Local
from the drop down menu and
enter the new address range in here and press update.
NEVER SET THE LOCAL ADDRESS RANGE TO BE THE SAME AS THE ADDRESS
RANGE OF THE INTERNET CONNECTION. This will cause routing errors and you will
lose contact with the unit.
