Web Interface Settings Glossary 80
Connection Menu > IP Group
NAT Enable
Enables/disables NAT (Network Address Translation). With NAT enabled, only one IP
address is used when communicating with remote sites via the external network. The
real IP addresses of computers on the local LAN are never revealed to remote sites.
Default: Disabled.
Multicast Enable
Enables/disables support for IP multicasting. When disabled, IP multicast datagrams
are not forwarded from the external network onto the internal Ethernet LAN. To allow
computers on the internal LAN to subscribe to services that use IP multicasting as a
delivery mechanism, you must enable this option.
Default: Disabled.
Manual Dialing
Enables/disables manual dialing of this profile. With manual dialing enabled, this
profile will NOT be automatically connected when data needs to be sent. Instead, you
must manually connect the profile from the main ’Connections’ page.
Note: When you enable this option for PPP profiles, the value of the Idle Timer is increased from 120 to
900 seconds.
IP Address

assigned to the Eicon 1550/1551.
Subnet Mask
Defines the subnet mask this connection profile should use when a static address is
assigned to the Eicon 1550/1551.
Remote IP Address
Defines the IP address of the remote device to which this profile connects. Use this
only in cases when a static IP address is assigned to the remote site.
