MicroNet Technology SP1659P - Manual (Page 12)

y IP address:
Users can configure the IP settings and fill in new values if users set the DHCP function “Disable”.
Then, click <Apply> button to update. When DHCP is disabled, Default: 192.168.1.1. If DHCP is
enabled, this field is filled by DHCP server and will not allow user manually set it any more.
y Subnet mask:
y Default gateway:
Set an IP address for a gateway to handle those packets that do not meet the routing rules predefined
in the device. If a packet does not meet the criteria for other pre-defined path, it must be forwarded to a
default router on a default path. This means any packet with undefined IP address in the routing table
will be sent to this device unconditionally. Default: 192.168.1.254.
y DNS:
It is Domain Name Server used to serve the translation between IP address and name address. The
switch supports DNS client function to re-route the mnemonic name address to DNS server to get its
associated IP address for accessing Internet. User can specify a DNS IP address for the switch. With
this, the switch can translate a mnemonic name address into an IP address. There are two ways to
specify the IP address of DNS. One is fixed mode, which manually specifies its IP address, the other is
dynamic mode, which is assigned by DHCP server while DHCP is enabled. DNS can help you easily
remember the mnemonic address name with the meaningful words in it. Default is no assignment of
DNS address. Default: 0.0.0.0
3.3.3 Time Configuration
The switch provides manual and automatic ways to set the system time via NTP. Manual setting is simple and
you just input “Year”, “Month”, “Day”, “Hour”, “Minute” and “Second” within the valid value range indicated in
each item. If you input an invalid value, for example, 61 in minute, the switch will clamp the figure to 59.
NTP is a well-known protocol used to synchronize the clock of the switch system time over a network. NTP, an
internet draft standard formalized in RFC 1305, has been adopted on the system is version 3 protocol. The
switch provides four built-in NTP server IP addresses resided in the Internet and an user-defined NTP server
IP address. The time zone is Greenwich-centered which uses the expression form of GMT+/- xx hours.
