Basic Configuration
5.9.2. Network Parameters
In the Text Interface, these parameters are accessed via the Network Configuration
menu (Figure 5.17.) 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 MPC via the Text Interface.
• IP Address: (Default = 192.168.168.168.)
• Subnet Mask: (Default = 255.255.255.0.)
• Gateway Address: (Default = undefined.)
• DHCP: Enables/Disables Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. When this option
is "On", the MPC will perform a DHCP request. Note that in the Text Interface, the
MAC address for the MPC 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 MPC unit.
• Telnet Access: Enables/disables Telnet access. When Telnet Access is "Off," users
will not be allowed to establish a Telnet connection to the unit. (Default = On.)
• Telnet Port: Selects the TCP/IP port number that will be used for Telnet
connections. Note that in the Text Interface, this item is defined via a submenu,
which is displayed when the Telnet Access parameter is selected (item number 21.)
(Default = 23.)
• Max. Per Source: Specifies 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.
• SSH Access: Enables/disables SSH communication. (Default = On.)
• SSH Port: Selects the TCP/IP port number that will be used for SSH connections.
Note that in the Text Interface, this option is defined via a submenu that is displayed
when the SSH Access parameter is selected (item number 22). (Default = 22.)
• HTTP Access (Web Access): Enables/disables the Web Browser Interface.
When disabled, users will not be allowed to contact the unit via the Web Browser
Interface. (Default = Off.)
• HTTP Port: Selects the TCP/IP port number that will be used for SSH connections.
(Default = 80.)
• HTTPS Access: Enables/disables HTTPS communication. For instructions on
setting up SSL encryption, please refer to Section 14. (Default = On.)
