Manually Configuring Network Settings

There are various settings in the network setup that you can manually configure.
1. Click Modify network settings.
2. Uncheck Automatically configure DNS, WINS, and all IP addresses (DHCP).
3. DNS Servers — enter the IP addresses of the DNS (Domain Name System) servers. DNS is
used for translating the domain name to IP addresses.
4. WINS Servers — enter the IP addresses of the WINS server.
5. From the Bonding Mode drop-down menu, choose one of the following:
Transmission Load Balance — increases bandwidth by distributing the load across multiple
●
NICs.
Link Aggregation — increases bandwidth by distributing the load across multiple ports in a
●
switch. Link Aggregation requires an 802.3ad compatible switch.
Failover — provides recovery from a failure, so if one NIC should fail, your system still has
●
network connectivity with the other NIC.
6. To connect your px4-400r to a proxy server, check Use proxy settings and enter proxy IP
address, port number, and the proxy username and password.
7. Click Apply to save your settings.
8. If a DHCP server is unavailable for a network interface card (NIC), the device could auto-assign
an IP address, or you can uncheck the Automatically acquire network address (DHCP)
checkbox found in the Information section of a NIC.
9. You can change the following settings in the Information section:
IP Address — the static IP address of the px4-400r. Use an available IP address in the range
●
used by the LAN.
Subnet Mask — the subnet that the IP address belongs to. The default value is 255.255.255.0.
●
Gateway — enter the gateway IP address in this field.
●
10. Click Apply to save your settings.
