5.6. Network Parameters

In order to communicate with the NPS-2HD via network, the IP

Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address must first be

defined using the Network Parameters menu. If desired, this

menu also allows you to implement IP Security features, which

restrict command mode access based on the user's IP Address.
Settings for network parameters depend upon the configuration

of your individual network. Please contact your network

administrator for appropriate settings, and then assign parameters

as described in this section.
To access the Network Parameters menu (Figure 5.5), type /N

and press [Enter]. Note that this menu is not available in User

Type 1 press [Enter], and follow the instructions in the
