Configuration Options
Using the options in this menu, you can change:
• Console passwords • COM 1 parameters
• Network parameters • Modem Parameters
• Current time and date and set an accurate time zone.
For instructions on setting passwords, see pages 5 & 6: Access Control.
Once the console has been powered up, navigate the console by pressing the screen on the appropriate button.
1. Starting at the
Home Status Menu, press the Main Menu button.
2. Select the Configuration button.
3. Select from the options in the Network Parameters section that follows to view or change console configuration settings.
Network Parameters
To communicate with your network equipment (i.e. router, switch, hub, etc.) you will need to modify the network
parameters.
IP Address Settings:
IP Address – This is a logical (electronic) address, like a street address, that the console uses to route information.
This address will have to match your network, if connected to a network, in order to ‘talk’ to a remote
communication device, or your PC.
Network Mask – Masking is a way to diversify the use of multiple subnets. The mask must match that of the network the
console is connected to. Masks are used in networking to create ‘sub-networks’ within a whole, like slicing
and apple. You have separate slices that may be in different locations, but they are still from the same apple.
Administrators use this to make separate networks, to maximize bandwidth or capacity of medium resources
(cables or fiber). Therefore, when your network uses static IP addressing (assigned by an administrator),
this mask must match the Network Mask of the router port that it is attached to. If the network uses a DHCP
server (automatically assigns IP addresses) then the mask should meet the specifications set by your
administrator.
Gateway – The Gateway is the logical address to the nearest router port, commonly the one that is connected to the
console. Consult your administrator for details on this and other network parameters.
DNS Server Address:
Preferred DNS Server / Alternate DNS Server – The domain name system (DNS) is the way that internet domain names
are located and translated into Internet Protocol addresses. A domain name is a meaningful and easy-to-remember tag for
an internet address (used for e-mail functions).
Protocol Settings – Veeder Root, port 8001: Port used to connect to a network that uses VR Protocol
– Web Server Secondary Port, 10001: Port used for network as port to forward
Date / Time Set
To set the date and time, click the button that corresponds with your selection and then select the correct option from the
list. If your choice does not appear on the first screen, use the up and down navigation buttons to scroll through more
options. When finished, confirm your selection by pressing the checkmark or OK button. It is important to enter the date
and time information correctly to ensure reports and alarms can be accurately tracked.
