Gateway
Using a gateway, you can address IP addresses from external
networks. If you want to use a gateway, you can configure the
relevant parameter in the SND Server via the mySND Control Center.
Hardware Address
The SND Server is addressable by means of its world-wide unique
hardware address. This address is commonly referred to as the MAC
or Ethernet address. The manufacturer has defined this address in
the hardware of the device. The address consists of 12 hexadecimal
numbers. The first six numbers represent the manufacturer, while
the last six numbers identify the individual device.
The hardware address can be found on the housing or in the
InterCon-NetTool.
The use of separators within the hardware address depends on the
platform. Note the following conventions when entering the
hardware address:
Host Name
The host name is an alias for an IP address. The host name uniquely
identifies the SND Server in the network and makes it easier to
remember.
