Network Settings

You can configure the network IP settings via VT-100 or web interface. This
section describes configuration through the web interface.

IP Configuration

The Console Server requires a valid IP address to operate within the user's
network environment. If the IP address is not readily available, contact the
system administrator to obtain a valid IP address for the Console Server.
There are two types of IP assignments you can choose from:
• Static IP
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
The unit ships with DHCP set to default. If no DHCP server is found on your
network, the Console Server will boot with the following static IP address:
192.168.2.156.
The new IP configuration setting can be saved by clicking "Save & Reboot".

IP Filtering

The IP filtering function keeps unauthorized hosts from accessing the Console
Server by specifying rules.
The IP address/mask specifies the host range by entering the base host IP
address followed by "/" and the subnet mask ("/" is a required separator between
the IP address and the subnet mask). The host IP addresses are filtered based on
the rule defined.
The table below provides examples of IP address/mask settings.
Specified host range
Any host
192.168.2.120
192.168.2.1 ~ 192.168.2.254
192.168.0.1 ~ 192.168.255.254
192.168.2.1 ~ 192.168.1.126
192.168.2.129 ~ 192.168.2.254
The "Port" is a port or port range of the Console Server to which hosts try
to access.
Chain Rule
The chain rule determines whether the access from the hosts is allowed or not. It
can be one of two values:
• ACCEPT: access allowed
• DROP: access not allowed
When the Console Server receives a TCP packet, it will process the packet with
the chain rule depicted below. The process order is important—the packet will
enter the chain rule 1 first. If it meets the rule, then it will take action; otherwise, it
will go on to chain rule 2.
Base host IP address Subnet mask
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
192.168.2.120 255.255.255.255
192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0
192.168.2.0 255.255.255.128
192.168.2.128 255.255.255.128
