NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL Series General Settings
Telnet console (default = Enable): This field enables or disables access to the Telnet console.
LCM password protect (default = No): This field enables or disables password protection for the LCM console.
The LCM console refers to the LCD control panel on the top panel of the device server, which may be used for
basic configuration.
Reset button protect (default = No): This field enables or disables reset button operation.
ATTENTION
If you disable both the web console and Telnet console, you can still use the LCM console or NPort Administrator
to configure your NPort device server.
Network Settings
IP Address (default = 192.168.127.254): This field is for the IP address that will be assigned to your NPort
device server. All device ports on the device server will share this IP address. An IP address is a number
assigned to a network device (such as a computer) as a permanent address on the network. Computers use the
IP address to identify and talk to each other over the network. Choose a proper IP address that is unique and
valid in your network environment. If your device server will be assigned a dynamic IP address, set the “IP
configuration” parameter appropriately.
ATTENTION
You must assign a valid IP a
ddress to your NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL before it will work in your network
environment. Your network system administrator should provide you with a unique IP address and related
settings for your network
Netmask (default = 255.255.255.0): This field is for the subnet mask. A subnet mask represents all of the
network hosts at one geographic location, in one building, or on the same local area network. When a packet
is sent out over the network, the NPort device server will use the subnet mask to check whether the desired
TCP/IP host specified in the packet is on the local network segment. If the address is on the same network
segment as the device server, a connection is established directly from the device server. Otherwise, the
connection is established through the gateway as specified in the “Gateway” parameter.
Gateway (default = blank): This field is for the IP address of the gateway, if applicable. A gateway is a network
computer that acts as an entrance to another network. Usually, the computers that control traffic within the
network or at the local Internet service provider are gateway nodes. The NPort device server needs to know the
