DS-Series data switch. Use the DS73 module for in-band network management. And use the DS74, EIA-232 module for out-of-band management. Remote workstations and PCs connect to the DS73 using a dial-up PPP session. This offers dial-up users a low cost IP network link suitable for remote access to the network.
SUBNET MASK The SUBNET Mask is a bit mask that identifies the network portion of the IP address, allowing the DS73 to determine whether to send a packet directly to the client or to a gateway. The Subnet Mask consists of four bytes with each byte ranging from 0 to 255 decimal.
USER NAME The DS73 User name is required of all users who attempt to access the DS73. The user name is given by the user when establishing a connection to the DS 73 module. The user name consists of an ASCII character string with a maximum length of 8 characters.
