Basic Configuration
5.9. Network Configuration
The Network Parameters Menus are used to select parameters and options for the
Network Port and also allow you to implement various security and authentication
features.
Although the Web Browser Interface and Text Interface allow definition of essentially the
same parameters, parameters are arranged differently in the two interfaces. In the Text
Interface, most network parameters are defined via one menu. But in the Web Browser
Interface, network parameters are divided into separate menus which are accessed via
the Network Configuration flyout menu.
Notes:
• Settings for network parameters depend on the configuration of your network.
Please contact your network administrator for appropriate settings.
• The Network Parameters Menu selects parameters for all 16 logical Network
Ports.
• The IP Address, Subnet Address and Gateway Address cannot be changed
via the Web Browser Interface. In order to change these parameters, you
must access the unit via the Text Interface.
• When a new IP Address is selected, or the status of the DHCP feature is
changed, the unit will disconnect and reconfigure itself with the new values
when you exit the Network Parameters Menu. When configuring the unit via
Web or Telnet, make certain your DHCP server is set up to assign a known,
fixed IP address in order to simplify reconnection to the unit after the new
address has been assigned.
• The Network Parameters menu is only available when you have logged into
command mode using an account and port that permit Administrator level
commands (Administrator Mode enabled.)
The Network Parameters menu allows you to define the parameters discussed in the
following sections. Note that although the descriptions of network parameters are
arranged according to the Web Browser Interface, in the Text Interface, most parameters
are included in a single menu.
5.9.1. Network Port Parameters
In the Text Interface, these parameters are accessed via the main Network Configuration
menu. In the Web Browser Interface, these parameters are found by placing the cursor
over the "Network Configuration" link on the left hand side of the screen, and then
clicking on the "Network Port Parameters" link in the resulting fly-out menu.

Administrator Mode:
Permits/denies port access to accounts that allow
Administrator level commands. When enabled (Permit), the port will be allowed
to invoke Administrator level commands, providing they are issued by an account
that permits them. If disabled (Deny), then accounts that permit Administrator level
commands will not be allowed to access command mode via this port.
(Default = Permit)
