ROSS MN/13070
4.8 Network Configuration
The network configuration is the ROSS system LAN interface properties setting the IP address,
subnet mask and local default gateway. After applying the network protocol stack will
reinitialize with the new IP settings without rebooting.
During the address change the top menu will display “A timeout occurred processing your
request!” This is normal as services have temporarily stopped during address reset.
4.9 Network ID
The Network ID that is assigned to the unit defines which network within the managing VMS
that the ROSS information will belong. All ROSS units used in a specified network will have the
same network ID. This parameter is used by the VMS to identify units common to a network and
allows the VMS to manage multiple networks, each with its own unique network ID number.
This value is configurable from 1 -255 and is assigned by the network operator. Zero equals no
network assignment.
4.10 VMS Multicast Address
This sets the listening address of the active managing VMS. The VMS sends announcement
messages to specified address to update active managing VMS where redundancy applies.
