Before you continue …
… please obtain the following information from your network administrator:
Available static IP address
This is the unique address assigned to the SecureSync unit by the network
administrator. Make sure the chosen address is outside of the DHCP range of
your DHCP server.
Subnet mask (for the network)
The subnet mask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that
are used in the network portion. The number of network bits used in the net
mask can range from 8 to 30bits.
Gateway address
The gateway (default router) address is needed if communication to the
SecureSync is made outside of the local network. By default, the gateway is
disabled.
Note: Make sure you are assigning a static IP address to your SecureSync
unit that is outside of the DHCP range defined for the DHCP server. Your
system administrator will be able to tell you what this range is.
2.12.1 Dynamic vs. Static IP Address
On a DHCP network (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), SecureSync's IP address will
be assigned automatically once it is connected to the DHCP server. This negotiated
address and other network information are displayed on the unit front panel when the unit
boots up.
If you plan on allowing your SecureSync to use this negotiated DHCP Address on a per-
manent basis, you can skip the following topics about setting up an IP address, and instead
proceed to "Accessing the WebUI" on page56, in order to complete the SecureSync con-
figuration process.
