Server Configuration (Network Configuration)
The unit’s basic network parameters display when you select Server configuration
(option 0). The IP Address, Set Gateway IP Address, and Netmask fields display
the current values.

IP Address
The IP address must be set to a unique value in your network.
Set Gateway IP Address
The gateway address, or router, allows communication to other LAN segments. The
gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same LAN
segment as the unit. The gateway address must be within the local network. The
default is N (No), meaning the gateway address has not been set. To set the gateway
address, type Y and enter the address.
Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part
A netmask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that are assigned for
the host section.
Note: Class A: 24 bits; Class B: 16 bits; Class C: 8 bits
The unit prompts for the number of host bits to be entered, then calculates the
netmask, which displays in standard decimal-dot notation when the saved
parameters are displayed (for example, 255.255.255.0).

Network Class Host Bits Netmask
A 24 255.0.0.0
B 16 255.255.0.0
C 8 255.255.255.0
Change Telnet Configuration Password
Setting the Telnet configuration password prevents unauthorized access to the setup
menu via a Telnet connection to port 9999 or via web pages. The password must
have 4 characters. An enhanced password setting (for Telnet access only) of 16
characters is available under Security Settings.
Note: You don’t need a password to access the Setup Mode window via a
serial connection.
