Configuring Network Settings
Configuring Network Settings
Before installing your WallBotz 500 appliance, you must
configure your appliance’s network settings. By default, your
appliance is configured to obtain its network settings using
DHCP. Alternately, you can use the Serial Configuration Utility
to specify network settings (including IP address, gateway
address, subnet mask, hostname, NAT proxy, and speed and
duplex settings) to be used by the appliance. You can also use the
Serial Configuration utility to configure a wireless network
adapter if you have installed one in the PC Card slot.
Obtaining Network Settings Using
DHCP
By default, your appliance is configured to attempt to obtain its
network settings using DHCP. When you connect the appliance
to your network and power it on, it automatically attempts to
contact a DHCP server. The appliance will wait 30 seconds for a
response. If the DHCP server is configured to provide a
hostname the appliance will request either its configured
hostname or ‘netbotz
xxxxxx ’ (where xxxxxx is the last 6 digits
of the appliance serial number) as a hostname to be associated
with the IP address granted by the DHCP server, enabling you to
use a web browser to connect to the appliance at the http://
netbotz
xxxxxx without any additional configuration necessary.
The appliance will also request DNS server addresses, DNS
domain, SMTP server addresses, and NTP server addresses from
the DHCP server.
Note: After your DHCP server has assigned network settings for the
appliance, you can use your system, a null modem cable, and the
Serial Configuration Utility to view the network settings. For
more information see “Using the Serial Configuration Utility” on
page 36.
