Connection Status icon: This visual display of the connection status allows the user to have a current
visual update of the panel’s connection status, regardless of what page is

with a currently secured target Master, which requires a username and
password.

client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network via a DHCP server.
• Static IP is a permanent IP Address that is assigned to a node in a TCP/IP
network.
IP Address Sets the secondary IP Address assigned to the panel.
Subnet Mask Sets a subnetwork address to the panel.
• Subnetwork mask is the technique used by the IP protocol to filter messages
into a particular network segment (Subnet).

different types of networks/applications or acts as a go-between two or more

corresponding IP Addresses.
