You can set the life expectancy for packets originating from this Secure
Data Mode Station using the Default TTL (Time to Live) field.
You can use syslog messages to log information such as logins, service
errors and general configuration information. Since there is no storage
on a base station, a general purpose computer is needed to log these
messages. To set the syslog host that will accept syslog messages, use
the Syslog Host Address and Syslog Host Facility fields.
Obtain an IP Address from DHCP Server-- Select this radio button if
you wish to obtain an IP address from the DHCP Server.
If you select this option, you must also choose the interface on which
you would like the base station to send the request. This option causes
your base station to send a broadcast request
For its IP address, subnet mask, and default router over the given
interface at base station startup time. If you select the DHCP option, it is
recommended (though not required) that you set up your DHCP server to
always provide the same IP address to this Secure Data Mode Station
system.
Using Interfaces-- Select the interface for which you wish to obtain an
IP address. A base station has several network interfaces to which it may
be connected. The network interfaces are numbered (1, 2, 3...), and the
interface numbers may be found by selecting Interface Setup from the
Setup Menu.
Specify an IP Address-- Select this radio button if you wish to enter an
IP address manually.
Our IP Address-- This is the address of the Secure Data Mode
Bridge/Router itself. If you wish to configure or monitor your Secure
Data Mode Bridge/Router, or if your network supports IP and you wish
to enable the Ping support and IP/SNMP support of the Secure Data
Mode Bridge/Router, set this to a valid IP address. After setting this
address to 0.0.0.0, enter the IP address of the base station.
Please note that unless you enable IP Routing on the IP Router Setup
screen, the Bridge/Router is not an IP router. It has only one IP address,
and that address applies to both the remote and local networks (i.e., both
sides of the Bridge). Having two Ethernet interfaces with the same IP
address is different than a standard IP host, but is appropriate for a
Transparent Bridge. The Ethernet address of both interfaces is also the
same.
