V.2.
Server Configuration
The unit’s basic server (i.e. network) values display upon selecting Server (option 0 from the Change Setup
menu). The following sections describe the configurable parameters within the Server configuration menu.
Set the IP Address
If DHCP is not used to assign IP addresses, enter it manually. The IP address must be set to a unique value in the
network. Enter each octet and press Enter between each section inputted. The current value is displayed in
parentheses.
IP Address : ( 0) ( 0) ( 0) ( 0)
Set the Gateway IP Address
The gateway address, or router, allows communication to other LAN segments. The gateway address should
be the IP address of the router connected to the same LAN segment as the unit. The gateway address must be
within the local network.
The default is N (No), indicating the gateway address has not been set. To set the gateway address, type Y. At the
prompt, enter the gateway address.
Set Gateway IP Address (N) ? Y
Gateway IP addr ( 0) ( 0) ( 0) ( 0)
Set the Netmask
A netmask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that are assigned for the host part.
Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part (0=default) (0)
The unit prompts for the number of host bits to be entered, then calculates the netmask, which displays in
standard decimal-dot notation when the saved parameters are displayed (for example, 255.255.255.0).

Change Telnet Configuration Password
Setting the Telnet configuration password prevents unauthorized access to the setup menu via a Telnet
connection to port 9999 or via web pages. The password must have 4 characters.
Change telnet config password (N) ?
