Network Configuration Fields

FaxFinder's factory default IP address is 192.168.2.1 and 24 bit network mask is 255.255.255.0.
Field Description
Hostname Required. Enter an alphanumeric hostname to associate with this FaxFinder. Hostnames
can contain periods (.) and dashes (-). Multi-Tech recommends that the hostname be
resolvable by DNS or otherwise. FaxFinder uses this hostname to identify itself when
connecting to an SMTP server. This hostname is also used in the recipient's address for
T.37 emails.
Description Enter a description up to 64 characters. This appears on the Web Management home
page.
IP Address Required. Enter a static IP address for the FaxFinder to use. FaxFinder does not support
automatic assignment (DHCP). If you are setting up this FaxFinder for the first time, once
you change the IP address, you will need to be on the same network to make changes.
Subnet Mask Required. Enter the subnet mask to be used by this FaxFinder. A typical subnet mask is
255.255.255.0, but your network may be different.
Default Gateway Required. Enter the network's default gateway IP address. This allows FaxFinder to
contact network addresses outside the local network, such as an internet time server or
SMTP server.
Primary DNS Enter the primary domain name server, if any, that this FaxFinder will use for IP address
name resolution. If you change this value, reboot the system when you save your
changes.

value, reboot the system when you save your changes.
