All fields in the centre and right columns of Figure 7 require numerical values:
IP Addr is 192.168.92.68 by default. Defining a new address before placing
the unit into service is highly recommended.
Netmask is the subnet mask — 255.255.255.0 by default.
Gateway is 192.168.92.1 by default. If your Ethernet LAN does not have a
gateway, set this value to 0.0.0.0.
DNS #1 is the IP address of the chosen Domain Name Server (if one is
desired at all). It is 0.0.0.0 by default.
DNS #2 is 0.0.0.0 by default.
Netmask is the subnet mask
— 255.255.255.0 by default.
Rx Broadcast is Enable by default, but can be toggled to Disable.
Tx Enable is Enable by default, but can be toggled to Disable.
FIFO Depth is 5 by default, but it can be set from 1 – 10.
TCP Port is 5001 by default, but can be 1025 – 65535.
UDP Port is 5001 by default, but can be 1025 – 65535.
Keepalive Time is 30 seconds by default, but can be 1 – 65535.
Keepalive Interval is 10 seconds by default, but can be 1 – 65535.
Keepalive Probes is 3 by default, but can be 1 – 65535.
TCP Retries is 5 by default, but can be 1 – 65535.
TCP FIN Timeout is 30 seconds by default, but can be 1 – 65535.
EDITING IN FIELDS REQUIRING ENTERED VALUES: The default cursor position is
in the Function field. Use the Tab key to advance from field to field. Within each field,
use the cursor arrow keys to position the cursor and the backspace key to erase
characters to the left of the cursor.
CTRL-V toggles the editing mode between the default OVERTYPE: OFF (characters are
inserted as you type) and OVERTYPE: ON (characters are replaced as you type).
EXPLANATION OF EACH FIELD
For the NETWORK configuration at the top of the screen, first set the Function to either
SERVER (if Ethernet clients are to access your ARCNET) or to PROXY (if you plan to
set up an Ethernet backbone between nodes in separate ARCNET LANs).
The Boot Protocol is the next item to be configured. If the IP address is to be set via
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, the DHCP option should be selected. When
DHCP is in effect, the following 5 fields are ignored: IP Addr, Netmask, Gateway*,
DNS #1 and DNS #2. If a fixed IP address is to be used, then NONE should be
selected and the five fields listed in the previous sentence should be changed to values
that are appropriate for your Ethernet network.
* NOTE: If AI-SRVR units connect to the network through routers, this is the address of
the router through which access is gained to the rest of the network or to the Internet.
