Server configuration menu
This menu allows the user to define all of the main IOLAN+ system parameters.
The menu as displayed can be divided into four logical sections: identification fields, general
admin, downloading and domain naming.
Identification fields
Field Description
Name This field determines the name of IOLAN+ and is displayed in the
bottom right hand corner of the menus.
IP address This field holds the IP address of IOLAN+. If the IP address of IOLAN+
is altered then the unit must be rebooted to permanently save
changes.
Subnet mask This field allows the administrator to define a mask that IOLAN+ uses
to mask out packets from other networks using the same ethernet.
Ethernet
address
This field defines the globally unique ethernet address of IOLAN+. This
address can not be altered and matches the address provided on the
physical back of the unit. In the unlikely event of this field being
corrupted please contact your supplier.
Ethernet
interface
This field defines which Ethernet media will be used. The LAN
connectors are autosensing but you can change this to a specific
interface.
