5.3. Server Properties
Step 1: Double click SCB-A08 list on SCB Manager search tool and open server properties.
- Server name: The server name is user configurable. It is recommended users with more than one SCB-A08
connected to the LAN assign a new name to each. When the Manager software searches for SCB-A08
on the LAN it will display the server name allowing the user to distinguish between SCB-A08s.
- Serial number: each SCB-A08 has a unique serial number. This is fixed and cannot be changed.
- Password: Entering a password activates a security feature on SCB-A08. Once a password is entered it will
be required to access the menu and make changes.
- DHCP: DHCP servers are a part of numerous LAN management systems. The DHCP field has two
selections, “Enable” or “Disable”. Arrow to the desired selection and select enter. When enabled,
SCB-A08 will send a DHCP request to the DHCP server, which will assign a dynamic IP address, netmask,
and gateway to the SCB-A08. If a DHCP server is not available on the network the SCB-A08 will time out
after 10 seconds and the default values will remain. When DHCP is enabled, the IP address, Netmask and
Gateway fields become inaccessible and cannot be changed by the user.
- IP address: SCB-A08 default IP address is 192.168.2.1. A static IP address can also be assigned in this
section of the menu. A dynamic address assigned by the DHCP server may change if the SCB-A08 loses
the Ethernet connection or power is removed. The host (client) communication software requests a
connection to the specific IP address of the serial server. If the DHCP reassigns a different IP address the
software will not be able to communicate with the hardware. It is recommended to use a static IP
address. A static IP address is permanent and will not change unless changed in the menu. In most cases
the network administrator establishes the static address to be use.
- Netmask: The default LAN netmask is configured for a Class C address. This may reconfigured by the user.
- MAC address: The MAC address is not adjustable. This is assigned in the factory. Every Ethernet device
manufactured has its own unique MAC address.
- Version & Date: The currently loaded version of the firmware, and when it was released, are shown here.
- Link status: Link status automatically displays the type of Ethernet connection. It will either display 10 BaseT
or 100BaseTX in full duplex or half duplex. This will depend on the LAN, switches, hubs used in the LAN
topology.
- Serial port: This field indicates the number of the port for with serial server properties are currently being
displayed. Changing the number in this field will cause all the other fields to display the properties for the
