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. For details, see
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.
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.
Default DHCP Name: If the DHCP name is not changed and the IP is 0.0.0.0,
then the DHCP name defaults to CXXXXXX (XXXXXX is the last 6 digits of the
MAC address shown on the label on the bottom/side of the unit). For example, if
the MAC address is 00-20-4A-12-34-56, then the default DHCP name is
C123456.
Custom DHCP Name: Create your own DHCP name. If using an IP address of
0.0.0.0, then the last option in Server configuration is Change DHCP device
name. This option allows you to change the DHCP name to an alphanumeric
name (LTX in the example).
