Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is used to define computer within the same local
network. It is a 32-bits digit code: 255.xxx.xxx.xxx.

Default Gateway
The gateway is generally referred as an interchange point that
connects two networks, such as LAN and WAN. If you do not need to
configure gateway address, set it as 0.0.0.0.
-
Enable DHCP Server
Once the DHCP server’s dynamic address allocation function is
activated it will automatically assign dynamic addresses to any
computer in the network that is configured to automatically obtain IP
addresses.
Note: Only one DHCP server may be activated at any time in a
network to avoid causing conflicts in communication.
-
Configuration of Network Interfaces
The system supports multiple network interfaces that enable you to
perform Fail Over and Load Balance functions. Fail over ensures server
availability to the network. If the primary port is disconnected due to a
hardware or cable problem, the secondary port will replace its network
identity. If the failed port resumes the network connection, it will also
resume the role as the primary interface.
When using Fail Over or Load Balance, you can select to connect the
network cable to an exchange device that supports trucking function and
then enable the function.
• Microsoft Networking
Users using the GNS-8000A on the Microsoft Windows operating systems must
start Microsoft Network Services.
If the local network has a WINS server installed, please specify the IP
address. The GNS-8000A will automatically register its name and IP address
with the WINS service. Or you can enable your GNS-8000A as the WINS
server for your network.
• Apple Networking
Users using the GNS-8000A on Apple’s Mac operating systems must enable
AppleTalk network support.
If your AppleTalk network uses extended networks, and is assigned with
multiple zones, please assign a zone name to the GNS-8000A. If you do not
want to assign a network zone, please enter an asterisk (*). Asterisk (*) is
the default setting.
