DESCRIPTION

IP Address
Dynamic

Select this option to have the NSA get IP address information
automatically.

If no IP address information is assigned, the NSA uses Auto-IP to
assign itself an IP address and subnet mask. For example, you could
connect the NSA directly to your computer. If the computer is also
set to get an IP address automatically, the computer and the NSA will
choose addresses for themselves and be able to communicate.

Static

Select this option for the NSA to use fixed TCP/IP information. You
must fill in the following fields.

IP Address

Type an IP address in this field.

IP Subnet Mask Type an IP subnet mask in this field.
Default

Gateway

Type a default gateway address in this field.

DNS

DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its
corresponding IP address and vice versa. If you have the IP
address(es) of the DNS server(s), enter them.

Dynamic

Select the option to have the NSA get a DNS server address
automatically.

Static

Select this option to choose a static DNS server address. Type the
DNS server IP address(es) into the fields below.

Primary DNS

Server

Type a primary DNS server IP address.

Secondary

DNS Server

Type a secondary DNS server IP address.

HTTP (Web Configurator)
Enable Another
Web Configuration
Port

Select this to configure an additional HTTP port for accessing the web
configurator. Specify a number in the Port Number field.

Jumbo Frames

Jumbo frames improve network performance. You must have a 1
Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet) network that supports jumbo frames. Select
the largest size of frame that all of your network devices (including
computer Ethernet cards and switches, hubs, or routers) support.

When enabled, you can choose between 4 KB, 8 KB, and 9 KB frame
sizes.

Note: If you enable jumbo frames on the NSA in a network that

does not support them, you will lose access to the NSA. If
this occurs, you will have to restore the factory default
configuration. Push the RESET button on the NSA’s rear
panel and release it after you hear a beep.
