•
DNS Domain
is the domain name used by the DNS server. For
example, a domain name could appear similar to
“server.company.com”.
•
DHCP
enables/disables support for Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP). When enabled, the TC2201 will retrieve a dynamic
IP address from a DHCP server located on the Ethernet network that
the TC2201 is connected to. The default setting is Enabled. If DHCP is
changed from Disabled to Enabled, it is necessary to reboot the
TC2201 before an IP address will be requested from the DHCP server.
After the TC2201 finishes rebooting, the QVM session will have to be
restarted. The TC2201's IP address will be different than the former
non-DHCP IP address.
A DHCP server may allow the setup of a lease reservation for an IP
address if provided with the MAC address of the TC2201. This forces
the DHCP server to always provide the same IP address to the
TC2201. This setup is useful for remote management of the TC2201
via Telnet or Visual Manager. Because the method of setting up a
lease reservation varies depending on the DHCP server, it is
recommended to contact your Network Administrator for assistance.
•
Override Settings
are provided to enhance inter operability with some
devices that require special consideration during setup of the TC2201.
Access to the Overrides Settings is reserved for authorized Quantum
technicians. Selecting the
Go
button opens a login prompt for which
an authorized technician will have the appropriate user name and
password.
Note:
To use the DHCP feature, a DHCP server must be operational
on the Ethernet network connected to the TC2201. If the DHCP
feature is used when there is no DHCP server, the standard for
DHCP requires that the TC2201 wait three minutes for a
response from a DHCP server before timing out. During this
period, the TC2201 menus and functions will not be accessible.
