The Terminal Server can be configured to take advantage of
your network's Domain Name Server (DNS). This is done
from the Administration Menu by keying in the IP address of
your DNS in the name server field. Fill in the domain name
field as well.
If you need to attach the Terminal Server to a different
network with a new IP address, it is possible to reset it to
factory default condition using the following procedure:
1
Power on the unit
2
Wait 30 seconds
3
Hold down the RESET button for 15 seconds
4
Release the button
After this is done, the unit will start sending BOOTP request
packets.
This procedure is useful for factory defaulting units which
cannot be reached via TCP/IP. This includes reassigning a
programmed unit to a network to which the previously
assigned IP address does not belong.
Firmware can be downloaded across the network using tftp
protocol if the host machine and file name are set in the boot
host and boot file entries of the server menu. These entries
are checked at start up and if they have been configured, the
relevant file will be downloaded.
Note: tftp must be enabled on the releveant host as it is
disabled by default.
