Configuring Wallnet; Network Setup - Planar Wallnet Setup & Operation

Configuring WallNet

The Network Setup section provides instructions to
set the final network configuration for the network
on which this WallNet will permanently reside. If you
do this configuration on a different network from
the "final" network, (for example, on someone's
office network vs. on the end customer's network),
you may need to defer making the final network
configuration changes until you finish the rest of the
configuration.

From the WallNet home page, select
Network Setup in the menu area.
In the WallNet hostname box it now says
WallNet. Change this name to something
more appropriate. This will be the name for
this particular WallNet device server. The
hostname is limited to 16 characters:
alphanumeric, dash, or underscore only
(which you can see in the instructions on
the WallNet page). This is also the name that
will appear in the list when you use WallNet
Assistant.
Leave Domain name blank unless your
network administrator tells you otherwise.
Do one of the following:
• If you will use DHCP, go to step 5.

Under the DHCP section, choose Yes, use
DHCP.
a. Change the default DHCP timeout (ten
seconds) only if instructed by your net-
work administrator.
b. You do not need to fill in anything
under the Static (non-DHCP) Network
