• Subnet Mask
Set the mask value used when determining the subnet network address from the IP
address. The default setting is [255.255.255.0]. Consult your network administrator
for the appropriate value. You may not need to set the value.
If DHCP can be used, the subnet mask is automatically assigned.
• Default Gateway
Specify the IP address of the default gateway that is used when communicating with
other devices on a different segment (network unit). The default setting is [0.0.0.0].
Consult your network administrator for the appropriate value. You may not need to
set the value.
If DHCP can be used, the default gateway is automatically assigned.
• DNS (Domain Name System)
DNS is a system used to associate names used on the Internet called host names
and domain names to IP addresses. (Given AAA.BBBBB.com, AAA is the host name
and BBBBB.com is the domain name. Instead of using the IP address, which is a
sequence of numbers, host name and domain name can be used to access the
network.
In the case of the TA720, the host name of the destination can be specified using a
name instead of an IP address when using the network drive function or network
printer function.
You set the domain name, the DNS server address ([0.0.0.0] by default), and the
domain suffix. In networks that support DHCP, these settings can be configured
automatically.
• DNS Server
Up to two DNS server addresses can be specified (primary and secondary). If the
primary DNS server is down, the secondary DNS server is automatically looked up
for the mapping of the host name/domain name and IP address.
• Domain Suffix
When the IP address corresponding to the server name with the aforementioned
domain name is not found, the system may be set up to search using a different
domain name. Enter this alternate domain name as the domain suffix. You can
specify up to two domain suffixes, Domain Suffix1 (primary) and Domain Suffix2
(secondary).
Note
•
If you changed settings related to the Ethernet network, the TA720 must be power cycled.
•
If the TA720 is turned ON with the DHCP function enabled without an Ethernet cable
connected, communications and file functions may not operate properly. In this case, turn
DHCP OFF and power cycle the TA720.
