3.3 NETWORK Page
The Network page offers options to configure the MPS on the network. Changes on this page do not
take effect until the user presses the
Apply
button at the bottom of the page. Configuration changes are
stored in non-volatile memory. A status window at the top of the page shows the present configuration
on the network.

3.3.1 NETBIOS
NetBIOS is a protocol that allows a device to register a default hostname on the network. With this
hostname, a user can address a device without knowing the assigned IP address. By default, the MPS is
configured to register the hostname “SYNQORMPS”. The user has the option to disable NetBIOS, in
which case they would need the IP address assigned to the device to use the web interface. The IP
address could instead be assigned to a static address by the router based on the MAC address.
When the NetBIOS name changes, the MPS rebuilds the SSL Certificate that will be served to browsers
connecting to the web interface via an SSL (https://) connection.
3.3.2 ADDRESS RESOLUTION
DHCP is a protocol which allows the router to assign an IP address to a device on the network. By
default, DHCP is enabled and the MPS will be assigned an IP address by a service on the network. A
DHCP-assigned address has an expiration time (lease). The MPS will attempt to renew its DHCP lease
before it expires. When DHCP is disabled, the MPS reverts to the default IP address specified. In this
situation, the MPS will transmit DHCP discovery requests once per minute to determine if a DHCP host is
present on the network.
AutoIP is an alternate IP address assignment protocol. With AutoIP, the device starts using a particular
address and observes if there are any conflicts. By default, AutoIP is disabled, and DHCP is the
recommended address resolution protocol.
The Local DHCP Server option allows the MPS to hand out addresses over a local network, such as when
the MPS is directly connected to a computer’s Ethernet port. When this option is disabled, the MPS
does not respond to DHCP requests and the DHCP discovery requests are halted. The MPS will not
respond to DHCP requests if it detects that a DHCP server is present on the network.
