Note: Every TCP connection is defined by a destination IP address and port number. For example, a Telnet
application commonly uses port number 23 (a port number is similar to an extension on a PBX-style telephone
system). Range of port numbers available: 1 - 65535. Port numbers 0, 7, and 9999 are reserved and must not
be assigned to the adapter.
After the parameters have been changed, you can press ENTER at the “Your choice?” prompt
to display the current values. Remember to save the settings once they are set correctly (see
below).
Consult with your Network Administrator for changes to the IP address, gateway address,
subnet mask, or security changes. To change IP address, gateway address, subnet mask
parameters, enter “0” at the “Your choice?” prompt and then press ENTER. To change
security parameters, enter “6” at the “Your choice?” prompt and then press ENTER.
Once the parameters are set correctly, save the settings and exit setup by entering “9” at the
prompt and then press ENTER.
Default the Adapter Parameter Values
If you have changed and saved a parameter not listed above or if you are unsure if the values
are set correctly, it may be necessary to default the parameter values. To default the values,
access the setup menu, enter “7” at the “Your choice?” prompt, and then press ENTER. Enter
“9” at the “Your choice?” prompt, and then press ENTER. This will save the default values.
You must then go back and set the parameter values correctly. Remember to save the settings
once they are set correctly.
