Configuration Menu
Configuration Options
Using the options in this menu, you can configure the console passwords, network parameters, current time and date and
set an accurate time zone. For instructions on setting passwords (see Section 1: Console – Basic Operation, Changing
Passwords).
Once the console has been powered up, navigate the console by pressing the screen on the appropriate button.
Starting at the
Home Status Menu, press the Main Menu button.
Select the
Configuration button.
Select from the options in the Network Parameters section that follows to view/change console configuration settings.
Network Parameters
To communicate with your network equipment (i.e. router, switch, hub, etc.), and then you will need to modify the network
parameters.
IP Address – This is a logical (electronic) address, like your 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, your PC or laptop computer.
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 utilizes 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.
