Description
This section allows the user/administrator to define the
communication and encryption parameters of the target Master.
• These radio boxes provide the option to select from either a
DHCP or Static communication mode on the MAX-CSE.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) assigns IP
Addresses from client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network
via a DHCP server.
• Static IP is a permanent IP Address that is assigned to a node
in a TCP/IP network.
• Allows the user to set the host name of the MAX-CSE.
• Allows a user to enter the IP Address or URL used by the
current MAX-CSE.
- This is the same IP Address used by NetLinx Studio
to communicate with the Master.
• Target Master IP Address must be in IPv4 dot notation
(ex: X.X.X.X).
• Allows the user to set a subnetwork address to the MAX-CSE.
• Subnetwork mask is the technique used by the IP protocol to
filter messages into a particular network segment (Subnet).
• Allows the user to set a gateway value to the MAX-CSE.
• Gateway is a computer that either performs protocol conversion
between different types of networks/applications or acts as a
go-between two or more networks that use the same protocols.
This section allows the user/administrator to define the
communication and encryption parameters of the target Master.
• Allows the user to set the unique name on the Internet to the
MAX-CSE for DNS look-up.
• The unit belongs to the DNS domain.
• Allows the user to set the address of the primary DNS server
used for host name lookups.
• DNS information must be in IPv4 dot notation (ex: X.X.X.X).
• DNS (Domain Name System) is software that lets users locate
computers on a local network or the Internet (TCP/IP network)
by host and domain. The DNS server maintains a database of
host names for its' domain and their corresponding IP
Addresses.
• Allows the user to set the address of the secondary DNS server
used for host name lookups.
• DNS information must be in IPv4 dot notation (ex: X.X.X.X).
