2.3 CONFIGURING NETWORK
PARAMETERS
2.3.1 Network Configuration Menu
The Network Configuration Menu is the home of three parameters that
should be reviewed and changed as necessary before placing an iNET
unit in service—Device Mode, IP Address and Network Name.
Figure 2-9. Network Configuration Menu Screen
• Device Mode (User Review Recommended)—Either Access Point
or a variation of a Remote.
• Network Name
(User Review Required)—Name of the iNET net-
work of which this unit will be a part. Essential for association
of Remotes to the Access Point in the iNET network.
• IP Address
(User Review Recommended)—Essential for connec-
tivity to iNET MS via the
LAN port and Ethernet data over the
network. Enter any valid IP address that will be unique within
the network.
CAUTION: Changing this value in the iNET unit while you are
communicating with it over the network, will cause a loss of
communication with the iNET 900 unit. Communication will
need to be re-established using the new IP address.
• IP Netmask
(Telnet/Terminal Only)—The IPv4 local subnet
mask. This field is unnecessary if DHCP is enabled.
• IP Gateway
(Telnet/Terminal Only)—The IPv4 address of the
network gateway device, typically a router. This field is unnec-
essary if DHCP is enabled.
(Firmware 2.0+)
• SNTP Server (Telnet/Terminal Only)—Address of server from
which the iNET unit will automatically get the time-of-day.
Without an SNTP server, the date and time must be manually
set.
• DHCP Enable—Service that provides on-the-fly IP address to
the iNET.
