- IP
The item is used to configure the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the
unit. The IP address is the identifier for the computer or device on a
TCP/IP LAN or WAN. Please note that to set a static IP address, DHCP
must be set to <OFF>.
NOTE:
The IP address cannot be set to “192.168.50.*” due to
the specific IP is reserved for NAS devices.
- Netmask
A netmask is a 32-bit mask used to divide an IP address into subnets
and specify the networks available hosts. Its value is defined by the
network administrator. It takes the form as ***.***.***.***, for example,
255.255.255.255.
This item allows users to enter the value of the Netmask for the unit.
Please note that to configure the item, DHCP must be set to <OFF>.
- Gateway
Gateway is a node on a network that serves as an entrance to another
network. Users are allowed to specify the IP address of the gateway or
router associated with this unit. To configure this item, DHCP must be
set to <OFF>.
- DNS
DNS is the abbreviation for “Domain Name System”, which is an
Internet service that translates domain names (eg: www.DNS.com)
into IP addresses. It helps to make our life easier because we do net
have to memorize IP address but just the domain names, which are
easier to be memorized.
The item allows users to specify the IP address of the Domain Name
System associated with the unit. To configure this item, DHCP must be
set to <OFF>.
If the network server is unavailable when using DHCP, the unit
searches for the network server and boots up slower than as usual.
The search of network continues until it times out.
