Routed - If checked, you can use the default gateway box, below, to specify the gateway
•
you would like DHCP devices to use. If unchecked, the DHCP server will serve the same
value for both the devices IP address and gateway, which is a suitable configuration for
non-routed networks.
Default Gateway- This specifies the IP address of a router if one is present on your
•
network. This is the gateway IP address that the DHCP server will send to network
devices to use. If you are on a flat or non-routed network, the Gateway IP address should
match the IP address of the device. In order to configure this DHCP server to send out
matching gateway IP addresses, configure this gateway IP address to match the IP
Address field. Then the DHCP server will give out a gateway IP address that matches the
IP address.
Learn Network Devices
Clicking this button will trigger the DHCP service to search the network for existing devices,
and add them to its table of known addresses. If you have equipment with statically assigned
IP addresses in your network, this will ensure the DHCP service does not serve out any IP
addresses which conflict with those devices.
Time Service (SNTP)
Clicking in the enable box will start the SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) service. You
determine if the service is running as a client (receiving time messages) or as a server (sending
time messages).
Client/ Server - When configured as a client, a console will attempt to synchronize its
•
time with the rest of the devices in the system, by listening for time information and
altering its own clock. When configured as a server, a console will serve out time to
other devices on the network.
ETC Net2 Time - With ETC Net2 Time enabled, the time server will periodically broadcast
•
(as a server) or receive (as a client) the current time, which is required by devices running
the ETCNet2 protocol, for example, Legacy Unison systems.
External Time Server - The External Time Server option allows you to synchronize your
•
console to a third party time system at a specific IP address using the NTP or SNTP
protocols. This allows use of a specific time clock for time sync. This requires a high
accuracy time clock on your network.
External Server IP - If External Time Server is enabled, you will need to specify the IP
•
address of your external NTP or SNTP time server in this field.

{Deep Clear...}
Clears unsaved console data and temporary files. A deep clear is automatically performed
when new software is installed. Sometimes it is useful to perform a deep clear between
updates.
The advantage of deep clear is that you can clear all console data before reloading the
console's current state during start-up. This is helpful if you are moving a new console onto
the network and don't want it to suddenly take control of a system or if you somehow end up
with a corrupt show file that is causing issues upon start-up.
Note:
A deep clear does not reset any ECU settings.
