Network Configuration
This section i
s for entering the specific network settings needed for the FaxFinder to run on your
network. By factory default, the FaxFinder ships with the IP address 192.168.2.1 and a 24 bit network
mask (255.255.255.0) for initial setup purposes. Enter the needed parameters for proper operation on
the network the FaxFinder is to be installed on. The only fields that can be left blank are DNS. A change
to any field takes effect within a few seconds after clicking the Save button except for changes to DNS. A
system reboot is required when either DNS field is changed.
Hostname
Enter
the hostname that will be associated with this FaxFinder unit. It is recommended that the
Hostname entered here be resolvable (by DNS or otherwise). The FaxFinder uses the name
entered here in two ways. This name is used to identify itself when connecting to an SMTP
server and it's used in conjunction with T.37 formatted emails sent to the FaxFinder for Store
and Forward faxing. The hostname portion of the ‘To’ address (in T.37 emails forwarded to the
FaxFinder) needs to match the hostname defined here. The only non alpha-numeric characters
that can be used are a period (.), a dash (-) and an underscore (_).
Description
Here you
may enter a custom description for this FaxFinder. The description entered here is
displayed on the Web Management Home page.
IP Address
Enter
a static IP address that is to be used by this FaxFinder. Automatic assignment (DHCP) is not
supported. If you are setting this FaxFinder up for the first time, remember that once this has
been changed, you will have to be on the same network to make further changes.
Subnet Mask
Enter
the appropriate subnet mask value that is to be used by this FaxFinder. A typical subnet
mask is 255.255.255.0, though your network may be different.
Default Gateway
Enter
the IP address of the default gateway on the network for this FaxFinder unit. The default
gateway is what allows the FaxFinder to contact network addresses outside of the local
network. This is necessary for contacting an internet time server or SMTP server.
Primary DNS
Enter
the primary domain name server (if any) that this FaxFinder unit will use for name
resolution of IP addresses. Changing this value will require a reboot of the unit.
