Revision 1.1
Alternate DNS Server
This field is used to specify the IP address of a Secondary DNS server. This is used when the
WebSwitch™ requires DNS services and the preferred DNS server is not available. The default
setting for this field is 192.168.1.1.
HTTP Port
The TCP port used for HTTP communications (web browser, xml, get commands) with WebSwitch™
is specified here. It is recommended that the port not be changed without an understanding of
TCP/IP and ports. For more information on TCP ports and IP addressing see Appendix C: Remote
Access. The default setting for this field is 80, which is the standard HTTP port.
Speed
This option sets the data rate (clock rate) of the Ethernet port. Either 10Mbps or 100Mbps can be
selected. The 100Mbps option offers faster communications but the amount of data to and from
WebSwitch™ is so small that users will not likely notice much (if any) difference. When
WebSwitch™ is set to 10Mbps, it draws less power and runs a little cooler which translates into a
longer product life. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THIS SETTING BE LEFT AT 10Mbps UNLESS
THE USER HAS A SPECIFIC REASON TO USE 100Mbps. The default setting for this field is
10Mbps.
Mode
This option allows the Ethernet port to be set to Half Duplex or Full Duplex. Legacy Ethernet
operates in Half Duplex mode which means that devices can either send data or receive data, but
not both at the same time. Full Duplex means that devices can send and receive data at the same
time. The default setting for this field is Half Duplex.
The remaining fields on the Network tab are required only if WebSwitch™ is configured to send
email messages when alarm conditions occur (Model XRDI-WS3P only) .
Mail Server (SMTP)
The name of the SMTP (Simple Network Transport Protocol) mail server (for example
mail.example.com) or the IP address of the mail server (for example 192.10.10.10) should be
entered in this field. There is no default setting for this field
Note: if the server name is entered and not the IP address, the address of a DNS server will be
required.
Mail Server Port
This field is used to specify the SMTP Mail Server Port. The default setting is 25, which is the
standard SMTP port.
User Name (If Required)
If the SMTP mail server requires authentication, the user name must be entered here. There is no
default setting for this field.
Password (If Required)
If the SMTP mail server requires authentication, the password must be entered here. There is no
default setting for this field.
