7. Set the CSM’s Date, Time and Time Zone.
8. Assign the CSM a unique IP address and other network settings to be used for communications. Consult with local IT
personnel to obtain an IP address and Subnet Mask for integration into the existing building network. Be sure to write the
IP Address down in a safe place to remember the assigned address. A description of the network settings is given below:
• Host Name – The name you want to use for this host
• DNS Domain – The TCP/IP Domain Name System (DNS) domain this CSM belongs to, if used
• IP Address – The unique Internet Protocol (IP) address for this host
• Subnet Mask – The IP subnet mask used by this host
• Default Gateway – The IP address for the device that forwards packets to other networks or subnets
• DNS Servers – The IP address for one or more DNS servers, each of which can automate associations between host
names and IP addresses. If you specify a DNS server, you must provide a domain name for this host in the DNS
Domain field. Otherwise, the NNS function will not work.
• Enable DHCP – Makes the CSM request an IP address from a DHCP Server. If you use DHCP, reserve a static
address within DHCP for the CSM (as opposed to within the entire static pool) so that you will always know the IP
Address of the CSM.
