Network Parameters
To communicate with your network equipment (i.e. router,
switch, hub, etc.) you will need to modify the network
parameters.
IP Address Settings:
IP Address – This is a logical (electronic) address, like a
street address, that the console uses to route
information. This address will have to match
your network, if connected to a network, in
order to ‘talk’ to a remote communication
device, or your PC.
Network Mask – Masking is a way to diversify the use
of multiple subnets. The mask must match
that of the network the console is connected
to. Masks are used in networking to create
‘sub-networks’ within a whole, like slicing and
apple. You have separate slices that may be
in different locations, but they are still from the
same apple. Administrators use this to make
separate networks, to maximize bandwidth or
capacity of medium resources (cables or fiber).
Therefore, when your network uses static IP
addressing (assigned by an administrator),
this mask must match the Network Mask of the
router port that it is attached to. If the network
uses a DHCP server (automatically assigns
IP addresses) then the mask should meet the
specifications set by your administrator.
Gateway – The Gateway is the logical address to the
nearest router port, commonly the one that
is connected to the console. Consult your
administrator for details on this and other
network parameters.
DNS Server Address:
Preferred DNS Server / Alternate DNS Server – The
domain name system (DNS) is the way that internet
domain names are located and translated into Internet
Protocol addresses. A domain name is a meaningful and
easy-to-remember tag for an internet address (used for
e-mail functions).
