IP Settings Page Features
Feature Description
IP Address: This section allows the user/administrator to define the
communication and encryption parameters of the target Master.
• IP These radio boxes provide the option to select from either a DHCP or Static communication
mode on the MAX-CSE.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) assigns IP Addresses from client stations
logging onto a TCP/IP network via a DHCP server.
• Static IP is a permanent IP Address that is assigned to a node in a TCP/IP network.
• Host • Allows the user to set the host name of the MAX-CSE.
• IP Address Allows a user to enter the IP Address or URL used by the current MAX-CSE.
Note: This is the same IP Address used by NetLinx Studio to communicate with the Master.
Target Master IP Address must be in IPv4 dot notation (ex: X.X.X.X).
• Subnet Mask Allows the user to set a subnetwork address to the MAX-CSE.
• Subnetwork mask is the technique used by the IP protocol to filter messages into a
particular network segment (Subnet).
• Gateway Allows the user to set a gateway value to the MAX-CSE.
• Gateway is a computer that either performs protocol conversion between different types of
networks/applications or acts as a go-between two or more networks that use the same
protocols.
DNS Address: This section allows the user/administrator to define the communication and encryption
parameters of the target Master.
• Domain Suffix Allows the user to set the unique name on the Internet to the MAX-CSE for DNS look-up.
• The unit belongs to the DNS domain.
• Primary DNS Allows the user to set the address of the primary DNS server used for host name lookups.
• DNS information must be in IPv4 dot notation (ex: X.X.X.X).
• DNS (Domain Name System) is software that lets users locate computers on a local
network or the Internet (TCP/IP network) by host and domain. The DNS server maintains
a database of host names for its domain and their corresponding IP Addresses.
• Secondary DNS • Allows the user to set the address of the secondary DNS server used for host name
lookups.
• DNS information must be in IPv4 dot notation (ex: X.X.X.X).
