Platform Configuration Options
Use this interface to set various platform options.
Server Debug Log Interface: This option enables or disables the DASDEC Debug Logs. This log is another
way for customer service at Digital Alert Systems to be able to view what is happening inside of the
DASDEC. If this option is enabled your DASDEC will keep track of these logs.
Select USB Port Speed Option: This option allows you to change the speed at which data is transferred
via USB in the DASDEC. This feature is important for some USB to Serial applications, where the USB to
Serial device may only support USB 1.1 and not USB 2.0. USB 1.1 Serial Adaptors need to run with USB
1.1 speed.
4.2 Setup > Network: Setup Network
There are two tabbed sub-pages on the Setup Network page: Configuration and Security. Use the sub-pages to
configure the DASDEC II to operate on a network by entering such information as:

DASDEC II main and auxiliary network addresses

DASDEC II network server hostname

Static IP address

DHCP to automatically acquire an IP assignment

Netmask, optional DNS (domain name services), and an optional gateway value.

Force use of secure http when using the Web browser.

Management of ssh keys over a group of networked devices.

4.2.1 Configuration: Server Network Configuration

This page displays the current network state of the DASDEC II and provides interfaces to configure Server
Network Hostname, network Ethernet IP addresses, network gateway, and the static routes. It also displays four
informational sections about the current network configuration. These are the current network routing table, static
routes, network address configuration, and the contents of the /etc/hosts file.
The DASDEC II server can be configured to have static IP addresses or can use DHCP to automatically assign
network addresses. A second network interface can also be configured with a static or DHCP address. The
second network interface will only be enabled if the correct hardware is installed. Presently, the plug and play
USB-Ethernet Adaptor "Belkin F5D5050" is supported. Specific Ethernet PCI cards have not been tested or
approved, although many will work. The second network is usually meant to provide control and management
into a system that will use the main network for streaming MPEG, SCTE-18, or for sending other network based
alert data.
When a DASDEC II network interface is valid and operational, the web interface configuration box is displayed in
green and labeled "Enabled". Else, the interface box is the background color and labeled "Disabled". In the
example above, the main network interface is configured and enabled but the second network interface is
disabled, although it is fully configured, and is selected to be available. This would happen if the Ethernet adapter
is not present (for example, the USB-Ethernet adapter is unplugged).
