Web Interface Settings Glossary 68
Connection Menu > IP Group
Broadcast Enable
Enables/disables support for IP broadcasting.
Default: Disabled.
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.
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.
Note: When you enable this option for PPP profiles, the value of the Idle Timer is increased from 120 to
900 seconds.
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.
IP Address
Defines the IP address this connection profile should use when a static address is assigned to
the Eicon 1530. In most cases, specify 0.0.0.0 to allow dynamic negotiation when the
connection is established.
Subnet Mask
Defines the subnet mask this connection profile should use when a static address is assigned to
the Eicon 1530.
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. In most cases, specify 0.0.0.0 to
allow dynamic negotiation of the address when the connection is established.
