Configuring and Managing the SmartServer
Automatically
Obtain IP Address
Enables the SmartServer to obtain its IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway from the local network’s DHCP server. As soon as the DHCP
server is contacted, the SmartServer reboots and implements the new IP
address. If the DHCP server cannot be contacted, the IP address, subnet
mask, and gateway are temporarily set to the following addresses:
IP address: 192.168.1.222
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.222
Selecting this option makes the subsequent IPv4 Address, Subnet Mask,
and Default Gateway properties unavailable.
If you plan to use the SmartServer as an IP-852 router, you must ensure
that the SmartServer uses a fixed IP address. See the DHCP section in
Chapter 4 of the IP-852 Channel Users Guide for more information on
this issue.
IPv4 Address
Enter the static IPv4 address used by the SmartServer. Make sure that the
IP address you enter is not in a range reserved by a local DHCP server.
The default IPv4 address is 192.168.1.222.
Note: If you are using a modem connection, enter a static IP address that
is outside the range of the SmartServer’s Ethernet connection.
This property is unavailable if you select Automatically Obtain IP
Address.
Subnet Mask
Enter the subnet mask used by the SmartServer. The default subnet mask
is 255.255.255.0.
This property is unavailable if you select Automatically Obtain IP
Address.
Default Gateway
Enter the IP address of the gateway used by the SmartServer. The default
IP address is 192.168.1.222.
This property is unavailable if you select Automatically Obtain IP
Address.
DNS Property
If you modify any of the following DNS properties, you must reboot your
SmartServer to implement the changes.
Automatically
Obtain IP Address
Enables the SmartServer to obtain its DNS Server Address from the local
network’s DHCP server. If the DHCP server cannot be contacted, this
property is temporarily set to 0.0.0.0. As soon as the DHCP server is
contacted, the SmartServer will reboot itself to implement the new DNS
Server IP address.
Selecting this option makes the subsequent Default DNS Server and
Backup DNS Server properties unavailable.
Default DNS
Server
Enter the IP address of the primary DNS server used to resolve OpenLNS
Server names, DNS server names, hostnames, and so on. An IT
department typically provides this information. The default IP address of
the default DNS server is 0.0.0.0.
This property is unavailable if you select Automatically Obtain IP
Address.
Backup DNS
Server
Enter the IP address of the secondary DNS server used to resolve names.
The default IP address of the backup DNS server is 0.0.0.0.
