Update Ips Network Settings; Nk Switchboard Configuration And Operation - Ross NK Series User Manual

Update IPS Network Settings

The network settings can also be configured using the Network Settings section, including enabling and
disabling SLP. Please refer to "Network Settings" on page 2–5 for details.
Use DHCP – the NK-IPS is configured to automatically obtain network settings from a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. Since most networks have a DHCP server available, this method is
applicable to most users and is the recommended method. Select this check box to use DHCP.
When DHCP is enabled, the NK-IPS will attempt to acquire network settings from a DHCP server on power up.
If successful, the NK-IPS will use the acquired network settings. If it is unable to acquire the network settings
after one minute, the NK-IPS will use the following network settings:
• IP address: 192.168.20.100
• Netmask: 255.255.255.0
• Gateway: 0.0.0.0
Address – the IP address of the device.
Netmask – the IP netmask of the device.
Gateway – the IP gateway of the device.
Port (read-only) – the port number of the device.
Send Settings – click this button to send the settings to the device.
Cancel – click this button to close the dialog box without applying changes.

NK Switchboard Configuration and Operation

The NK Switchboard enables the routing matrix to be monitored and optionally controlled on any router on any
NK-IPS detected on the network. The NK Switchboard is configured using the NK Switchboard tab in DashBoard.
It is recommended to configure the NK Switchboard globally before performing any switches.
Once DashBoard has been installed, the NK Switchboard can be accessed by clicking on the NK Switchboard
button ( ) from the toolbar. If the Switchboard has already been opened in the work area, activating it
from either the menu or the toolbar will open it as a device tab in the device view of DashBoard.
