DNS Hostname The DNS Hostname is retrieved from the DNS server on the network. Is there is no
DNS entry for ManageUPS in the DNS server, the current IP address of the adapter
will be displayed in the DNS Host Name field.
The MAC address is a unique hardware identifier that is set in the ManageUPS
adapter at the factory.

Settings
When the DHCP client is
enabled, The only settings
you may control manually are
Device and Host name.
Device Name
The name the adapter will publish for
itself on the network. This name will
appear as part of the adapter's icon in
ManageUPS DCU navigation window
whenever the icon is visible in the Local
Network tree. The default value can be
edited here and applied.
Host Name If the DHCP server is configured to push the
DNS Host Name to DHCP clients, the
DNS Host Name will be presented here.
If the DHCP session does not include assignment of
DNS Host Name, the entry will be
the default value shown.
Changing the host name entry in ManageUPS TCP/IP settings will not
affect the
entry in the DNS server's directory.
NOTE: Handling of hostname via DHCP under DDNS: When the adapter boots with
DHCP enabled, then the adapter will provide it’s hostname in the DHCP request. By
default this name is mun-1234-5678, where (1234-5678 is the unique hardware serial
number). If the DHCP server is configured to pass hostname to a DDNS server, this
hostname name will be added to the DNS server automatically.
Host Name will be returned as SysName
object in the SNMP system MIB (MIB-II)

Settings:
DHCP is the default configuration. Static or fixed is a configured option.
To switch to a fixed IP, select
Statically in the dropdown box and press the Apply
button. This will cause ManageUPS to present controls for entering the fixed IP
settings. After you have entered the fixed settings, press
Apply again. The settings
will be saved -- but will not take effect until you reboot the adapter. After the card is
rebooted, ManageUPS will deactivate the DHCP client and always use the fixed
settings you enter.
