Using the Configuration Pages
There are five Configuration Web pages, which only administrators can access.

The System Settings screen is divided into two sections, in which you can set date
and time parameters, and change the IP information for the MGP 462. In each
section, click Submit to enter your changes. Clicking the Cancel button in either
section restores the previous settings, if the new values have not been submitted.

The IP Settings fields provide a location for viewing and editing settings unique to
the Ethernet interface. After editing all desired settings in the IP Settings section,
click the Submit button at the bottom of this section.
Unit Name field
The Unit Name field contains the name used as the “from” information when the
MGP e-mails notification of its failed or repaired status. You can change this name
field to any valid name, up to 24 alphanumeric characters.

DHCP radio buttons
The DHCP On radio button directs the MGP to ignore any entered IP addresses
and to obtain its IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server (if the network is DHCP capable).
The DHCP Off radio button turns DHCP off. Contact your local system
administrator to find out this control’s setting.
