Conﬁguring Channels

The Channels configuration screen provides a way for you to configure the various channels in the

system. If your server has the Management Module - Professional Edition, one LAN channel and

one serial modem channel are supported. If your server has the Management Module - Advanced

Edition, your server supports one LAN channel, one serial modem channel, and one advanced LAN

channel.

The LAN Channel configuration provides a way to configure the individual LAN channel(s) on the

system. The configuration of each LAN channel is spread across several configuration screens.

• Configure LAN Channel 1 on this server: The Configure LAN Channel 1 checkbox allows

you to configure LAN Channel 1. LAN channel 1 is available regardless of the version of the

Management Module that is installed.

• Configure Serial/Modem Channel on this server: The Configure Serial/Modem Channel

checkbox allows you to configure Serial/Modem Channel.

• Configure Advanced MM LAN Channel on this server: The Advanced MM LAN Channel

checkbox allows user to configure the Management Module LAN channel. This option is

available only on the Management Module - Advanced Edition.

LAN Channel Conﬁguration Screen 1 - LAN IP Setup

When this screen is displayed, the settings shown are the current settings for this LAN channel on

the server. Unless otherwise noted, all fields on this screen must have valid data entered into them.

The Continue button is disabled/grayed out until all of the edit boxes on the screen are filled in.

• Static IP: The Static IP radio button allows you to manually set the Host IP Address, the

Subnet Mask, the Gateway IP Address and the Backup Gateway IP Address. The Backup

Gateway IP Address field can be left blank.

• DHCP IP: The DHCP radio button enables the dynamic host configuration protocol to allow the

server to automatically assign the host IP address, router IP address and subnet mask. If the

DHCP radio button is selected, the Host IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway IP Address, and

Backup Gateway IP Address edit boxes are disabled. These values are assigned by the DHCP

server.

• Host IP Address: The Host IP Address edit box allows you to enter the host IP address for this

LAN channel. The Host IP Address is the Logical or Internet Address of the server. The Host IP

Address is entered as a dotted decimal IP address, such as 192.168.0.2. This option is available

only if Static IP is selected.

• Subnet Mask: The Subnet Mask edit box allows you to enter the subnet mask for this LAN

channel. The Subnet Mask is the logical or Internet address of the host’s subnet. The server

uses this to decide if the alert destination is in the local subnet or in another subnet relative

to the server. The Subnet Mask IP address is entered as a dotted decimal IP address, such as

255.255.255.0. This option is available only if Static IP is selected.
