Network Settings
This section of the menu displays the settings of the Network parameters for up to two Ports.
The standard QS841A port is considered Port 1. A second network port is achieved by using
a Gateway card communication through a serial port. If two ports are present Port 1(from the
QS841A) is the Craft port and Port 2 from the Gateway would be the LAN port.
Host Name Network name assigned and configured for the QS841A since it acts as a
repository for data and services such as e-mail, FTP, HTTP, etc that are
accessed remotely by other equipment or users on the network.
IP Address Internet Protocol address assigned to the QS841A that identifies the unit on
the network. The format for the IP address field is a 32-bit numeric address
written as four numbers separated by periods (ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd). Each
number digit, d, can be zero to 255. When in the server mode, a user shall
use 192.168.2.1 to access the controller through the craft port.
Subnet Mask Internal network address assigned for identifying an internal network mask
that the QS841A has been assigned to by a network administrator. The
mask selectively includes or excludes certain equipment on a Host. The
format for the Subnet Mask field is a 32-bit numeric address written as four
numbers separated by periods (ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd). Each number digit, d, can
be zero to 255.
DHCP This field indicates the operational mode of the integrated Ethernet port.
The port can be operating as a DHCP Client, Static Client, or a DHCP
Server. DHCP Server is the default mode of operation for NX400 Craft port
and Static is the default for the LAN port.
Gateway This address is for the address of the Gateway or node on the network that
will serve as the entrance to another network for the QS841. This address
should be the address of the equipment or computer that routes the traffic
from and to the QS841 to the outside network. It is generally the proxy
server. The format for the Gateway address field is a 32-bit numeric address
written as four numbers separated by periods (ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd). Each
number digit, d, can be zero to 255.
DNS Address of the Domain Name Server that translates domain names into IP
addresses. This field is of the format ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd.
Mail Server The address for the computer or equipment within the network that will
manage the QS841 e-mails. The format for the Gateway address field is a
32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods
(ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd). Each number digit, d, can be zero to 255.
Write Access This field shows whether the port has bee configured to allow Read/Write
access or Read Only access. Read/Write access is available when the
feature has been enabled.
