Basic Configuration
5.9.2. Network Parameters
In the Text Interface, these parameters are accessed via the main Network Configuration
menu, which can be activated by typing /N (for IPv4 parameters) or /N6 (for IPv6
parameters) and then pressing [Enter]. In the Web Browser Interface, these parameters
are found by placing the cursor over the "Network Configuration" link on the left hand
side of the screen, and then clicking on the "Network Parameters" link in the resulting
fly-out menu.
Note: The IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway Address and DHCP status
cannot be changed via the Web Browser Interface. In order to change these
parameters, you must access the VMR/NPS via the Text Interface.
• IPAddress: (Default = 192.168.168.168.)
• SubnetMask: (Default = 255.255.255.0.)
• GatewayAddress: (Default = undefined.)
• DHCP: Enables/Disables Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. When this option
is "On", the VMR/NPS will perform a DHCP request. Note that in the Text Interface,
the MAC address for the VMR/NPS is listed on the Network Status Screen.
(Default = Off.)
Note: Before configuring this feature, make certain your DHCP server is set up
to assign a known, fixed IP address. You will need this new IP address in order
to reestablish a network connection with the VMR/NPS unit.
• TelnetAccess: Enables/disables Telnet access. When Telnet Access is "Off," users
will not be allowed to establish a Telnet connection to the unit. Note that in the
Text Interface, this item also provides access to the "Telnet Port" and "Maximum per
Source" parameters. (Default = On.)
• TelnetPort: Selects the TCP/IP port number that will be used for Telnet
connections. In the Text Interface, this item is defined via a submenu, displayed
when the Telnet Access parameter is selected. (Default = 23.)
• Max.PerSource: The maximum number of Telnet sessions that will be allowed
per user MAC address. (Default = 4.)
Notes:
• In the Text Interface, the "Per Source" parameter is defined via a submenu of
item 21 (Telnet Access) in the Network Parameters menu.
• After changing the "Max Per Source" parameter, you must log out of all pre-
existing Telnet sessions in order for the new maximum value to be applied.
