Set the Netmask

A netmask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that are assigned for
the host part.
The unit prompts for the number of host bits to be entered, then calculates the
netmask, which displays in standard decimal-dot notation when the saved
parameters are displayed (for example, 255.255.255.0).

Set DNS Server IP Address

The DNS server allows the name of a remote machine to be resolved automatically.
The default is N (No), indicating the DNS server address has not been set. To set the
DNS server address, type Y. At the prompt, enter the DNS server address. If the
device is DHCP enabled, the DHCP server provides the DNS server IP address,
which will override this configured value.
Note: This setting is applicable only in Manual Connection mode.

Change Telnet/Web Manager Password

Setting the Telnet configuration password prevents unauthorized access to the setup
menu via a Telnet connection to port 9999 or via web pages.
Please protect your device from unauthorized access and follow the instructions
below:
Always select Y to enable Telnet/Web Manager password

Enable the enhanced password setting and create a strong 16-character

password.
Note: We do not recommend that you only use the 4-character basic
password as it does not offer sufficient security. Using no password is very
dangerous. For details, see

DHCP Name

If a DHCP server has automatically assigned the IP address and network settings,
discover the unit by using the DeviceInstaller network search feature.
There are three methods for assigning DHCP names to the unit.
