Eos Configuration Utility 375
• Default Gateway- This specifies the IP address of a router if one is present on your network.
This is the gateway IP address that the DHCP server will send to network devices to use.
If you are on a flat or non-routed network, the Gateway IP address should match the IP
address of the device. In order to configure this DHCP server to send out matching gateway
IP addresses, configure this gateway IP address to match the IP Address Pool field.
Then the DHCP server will give out a gateway IP address that matches the IP address.
Learn Network Devices
Clicking this button will trigger the DHCP service to search the network for existing devices, and
add them to its table of known addresses. If you have equipment with statically assigned IP
addresses in your network, this will ensure the DHCP service does not serve out any IP addresses
which conflict with those devices.
Update Service (TFTP)
Clicking in the enable box will start the TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server.
• Update File Path - This sets the directory where files are to be served through TFTP. This
must be the full path to the directory, including drive letter. For example: C:\etc\nodesbin
Time Service (SNTP)
Clicking in the enable box will start the SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) service. You
determine if the service is running as a client (receiving time messages) or as a server (sending
time messages) during the installation process.
• Client/ Server - When configured as a client, a desk will attempt to synchronize its time with
the rest of the devices in the system, by listening for time information and altering its own
clock. When configured as a server, a desk will serve out time to other devices on the network,
acting as a time “master”
• ETC Net2 Time - With ETC Net2 Time enabled, the time server will periodically broadcast (as
a server) or receive (as a client) the current time, which is required by devices running the
ETCNet2 protocol, for example, Legacy Unison systems.
• External Time Server - The External Time Server option allows you to synchronize your desk
to a third party time system at a specific IP address using the NTP or SNTP protocols. This
allows use of a specific time clock for time sync. This requires a high accuracy time clock on
your network.
• External Server IP - If External Time Server is enabled, you will need to specify the IP
address of your external NTP or SNTP time server in this field.
