¾
IP Address
: Established in the initial serial connection and may be changed as
needed. This is the IP address of the NetLink Telephony Gateway as defined by your
network administrator. Enter the complete address including digits and periods.
DHCP may be entered and if so, the
S=Send All
option allows you to configure all
NetLink Telephony Gateways with DHCP.
¾
Hostname
: The hostname identifies this particular NetLink Telephony Gateway
and is for identification purposes only. The default name may be changed to
something locally suitable. You cannot enter spaces in this field.
Subnet Mask
: The network administrator must define the subnet mask.
Default Gateway
: IP address of a router on the local subnet.
Allow Telnet Connections
: Enter
Yes
to allow connection to the NetLink Telephony
Gateway via Telnet; enter
No
if you do not want to allow Telnet connection.
Allow FTP Connections
: Enter
Yes
to allow the NetLink Telephony Gateway to
communicate via FTP; enter
No
if you do not want to allow this. FTP is used for
software updates as well as to backup and restore software configuration. See the
Software Maintenance
section for more information about FTP.
The
Allow Telnet
and
Allow FTP Connections
options are security points. If
both of these are disabled, the only method for accessing the NetLink
Telephony Gateway will be via serial connection.
DNS server
and
DNS domain
: These settings are used to configure Domain Name
services. Consult your system administrator for the correct settings. These can also
be set to DHCP. This will cause the DHCP client in the gateway to attempt to
automatically get the correct setting from the DHCP server. The DHCP setting is
only valid when the IP address is also acquired using DHCP.
WINS servers
: These setting are used for Windows Internet Name Services. Consult
your system administrator for the correct settings. These can also be set to DHCP.
This will cause the DHCP client in the gateway to attempt to automatically get the
correct setting from the DHCP server. The DHCP setting is only valid when the IP
address is also acquired DHCP.
When the name services are set up correctly, the NetLink Telephony
Gateway can translate hostnames to IP addresses. Using Telnet, it is also
possible to access the NetLink Telephony Gateways using their hostname
instead of the IP address.
Logging
and
Log server
: Logging can be set to
Syslog
or
NONE
. The log server is the
IP address or hostname of the Syslog server on the network. The gateway will output
syslog format diagnostic messages. This is usually not needed.
SNTP
: The SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) server provides a time stamp for
syslog messages. See the
Configuration and Administration
document for the NetLink
Wireless Telephone for detailed information about syslog messages. If syslog is being
used, then SNTP server should be set to the hostname or IP address of an SNTP
server.
GMT Offset
: Difference in hours from Greenwich Mean Time, used for time
stamping by SNTP. There is no automatic adjustment for Daylight Savings Time.
