Configuring the MVG 400 73
Field Description
Default
Gateway
Fill in the IP address (on the wireless network) of the gateway used
for WAN or internet access.
If you do not know the internal IP address of the gateway, consult the
network administrator.
Note: If this field is not filled in correctly, external network services
will not be available through this network. These include accessing
the unit remotely (even through proxy and DDNS services) and SMS
and e-mail notifications.
DNS Fill in the IP address of the DNS server used by the access point. A
DNS server enables you to enter names instead of IP addresses for
the proxy and DDNS servers.
If you do not know the IP address of the DNS server, consult the
network administrator.
Note: If this field is not filled in correctly, you will not be able to
specify IP addresses as host names. For example, the address of the
SMTP e-mail server will have to be defined as IP numbers. In
addition, DDNS will not perform updates if there is no valid DNS
address.
4. Click Update and then save the settings. They will be implemented after the unit is
restarted (see Saving Configuration Changes, page 139).
Network Priorities
If your system is configured to connect to more than one network, it can use any of the
available networks for outgoing connections such as connecting to a proxy server or sending
an e-mail notification. In this case, you should rank the available networks to indicate which
one you would prefer the system to use for outgoing communications. For example, if the unit
can connect to both a WiFi network and a cellular network, you would probably want to give
the WiFi network priority over the cellular network, because it is faster and cheaper to use. In
this case, the system would use the WiFi network whenever it was available; if it was not
available, the system would use the cellular network instead.
The unit does not have to be restarted before changes to the network priorities settings are
implemented. Nevertheless, it is important to save the settings once they are correctly
configured. Otherwise, the settings will be erased when the unit is next restarted.
NOTE: Unless you have made other changes to the system configuration that are only
implemented after the system restarts, it is not necessary to restart the system after
the network priorities settings are saved.
