The B051-000 can either have its IP address assigned dynamically when starting up (DHCP), or it can be given a fixed IP address.
• To have an IP address assigned automatically by a DHCP server, select the
Obtain an IP address automatically button.
Note:
If the B051-000
is on a network that uses DHCP to assign network addresses, and you need to ascertain its IP address, contact your system administrator.
• To specify a fixed IP address, select the
Set IP address manually button and fill in the IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway that are
appropriate for your network.
The B051-000 can either have its DNS server address assigned automatically, or a fixed address can be specified.
• To assign a DNS server address automatically, select the
Obtain DNS server address automatically button.
• To specify a fixed address, select the
Use the following DNS server address button and fill in the required information.
Finishing Up
After making any network changes, be sure Reset on exit on the Customization page has been enabled (there is a check in the checkbox), before
logging out. This allows network changes to take effect without having to power the B051-000 off and on.
The Security page is used to control access to the B051-000.
To enable IP and/or MAC Filtering, click the IP Filter Enable and/or MAC Filter Enable checkbox. There are a maximum of 100 filters
allowed for each.
• If the
include
button is checked, all the addresses within the filter range are allowed access to the B051-000; all other addresses are denied
access.
• If the
exclude
button is checked, all the addresses within the filter range are denied access to the B051-000; all other addresses are allowed
access.
The settings on this page are described below:
Overview
• IP
and MAC Filters control access to the B051-000 based on
the IP and/or MAC addresses of the computers attempting to
access the system. If any filters have been configured, they
appear in the IP Filter and/or MAC Filter list boxes.
• The
Default web page name lets the Administrator specify
a login string (in addition to the IP address) that users must
include when they access the B051-000 with a browser.
Users must include the forward slash and the string along
when they specify the IP address. For security purposes, we
recommend that you change this string from time to time.
For example:
entering
abcdefg
in the Default web page
name field will require users to type in
192.168.0.126/
abcdefg
to access the B051-000 remotely.
Note: If no string is specified here, anyone can access the B051-
000 with a Web browser using the IP address alone. This makes the
installation less secure.
