XPort™ User Guide 24

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).

Table 4-1. Standard IP Network Netmasks

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.
