The primary network interface on the DASDEC II defaults to a static IP address of 192.168.0.200. This is a
commonly used, non-public IP address for LAN based appliance hardware. This value is meant to be changed.
The default IP netmask is 255.255.0.0. No default DNS or gateway is configured. If the gateway is selected, it
defaults to 192.168.0.1. The currently used IP address is displayed just above the entry field for the Server
Network Hostname. Information on other important system network configuration is displayed on the bottom half
of the page. See subsequent chapters for more information.
To save changes to the Network Hostname, Gateway, IP address or Second network interface option, you must

4.2.1.1 Server Network Hostname
When configuring more than one DASDEC II, pick a unique Server Network Hostname. The name
cannot contain spaces.
The Server Hostname is different from the DASDEC II server name. (See Chapter 5.1.1 Main/License:)
The DASDEC II server name is the name the DASDEC II presents through its Web browser interface. It
serves to allow for simple identification of a viewed DASDEC II.
The Server Network hostname is the network name of the DASDEC II as defined by the underlying
Linux operating system. This name can also be very important for correct functioning of email.
Some email systems require a fully qualified network hostname (e.g. DASDEC II.mysystem.com).
If the DASDEC II has been given a network name by a system administrator, this name must be
entered here.
