Basic Configuration
5.9. Network Configuration
The Network Parameters Menus are used to select parameters and options for the
Network Port and also allow you to implement various security and authentication
features.
Although the Web Browser Interface and Text Interface allow definition of essentially the
same parameters, parameters are arranged differently in the two interfaces. In the Text
Interface, most network parameters are defined via one menu. But in the Web Browser
Interface, network parameters are divided into separate menus, which are accessed via
the Network Configuration flyout menu.
To access the Network Parameters Menus, proceed as follows:

The Network Parameters menu allows you to define the parameters discussed in the
following sections. Note that although the descriptions of network parameters are

are included in a single menu.
