Set the Netmask
A netmask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that are assigned for
the host part.
Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part (0=default) (0) _
The unit prompts for the number of host bits to be entered, then calculates the
netmask, which displays in standard decimal-dot notation when the saved
parameters display (for example, 255.255.255.0).
Table 5-1. Standard IP Network Netmasks Representing Host Bits
Network Class Host Bits Netmask
A 24 255.0.0.0
B 16 255.255.0.0
C 8 255.255.255.0
Set DNS Server IP Address
The DNS server allows the name of a remote machine to be resolved automatically.
The default is N (No), indicating the DNS server address has not been set. To set the
DNS server address, type Y. At the prompt, enter the DNS server address. If the
device is DHCP enabled, the DHCP server provides the DNS server IP address,
which will override this configured value.
Note: This setting is applicable only in Manual Connection mode.
Change Telnet Configuration Password
Setting the Telnet configuration password prevents unauthorized access to the setup
menu through a Telnet connection to port 9999 or by web pages. The password must
have 4 characters.
Change telnet config password (N) ? _
An enhanced password setting (for Telnet access only) of 16 characters is available
under option 6 Security from the Change Setup menu.
Note: A password is not required to access the Setup Mode window through
a serial connection.
DHCP Name
If a DHCP server has automatically assigned the IP address and network settings,
discover the unit by using the DeviceInstaller network search feature.
There are three methods for assigning DHCP names to the unit.
 Default DHCP Name: If the DHCP name is not changed and the IP is
0.0.0.0, then the DHCP name defaults to CXXXXXX (XXXXXX is the last 6
digits of the MAC address shown on the label on the bottom/side of the unit).
For example, if the MAC address is 00-20-4A-12-34-56, then the default
DHCP name is C123456.
