address, and instead proceed to "Accessing the WebUI" on page71, in order to
complete the SecureSync configuration process.
Please note:
Unless you are using DNS in conjunction with DHCP (with the client configured
using SecureSync's hostname instead of IP address), Safran recommends to dis-
able DHCP for SecureSync, and instead use a static IP address. Failure to do this
can result in a loss of time synchronization, should the DHCP server assign a new
IPaddress to SecureSync.
2.12.2 Assigning a Static IP Address
Safran recommends assigning a static IP address to SecureSync, even if the unit
is connected to a DHCP server.
This can be accomplished in several ways:
a.
Via the keypad and information display on the front panel of the unit, see
"Setting Up an IP Address via the Front Panel" below
b.
By connecting the SecureSync to an existing DHCP network, temporarily
using the assigned DHCP address, see "Setting Up a Static IP Address via a
DHCP Network" on page69.
c.
By connecting a Personal Computer to SecureSync via a serial cable, see
"Setting Up an IP Address via the Serial Port" on page69.
d. By connecting a Personal Computer directly to SecureSync via a dedicated
Ethernet cable, see "Setting up a Static IP Address via Ethernet Cable" on
page70.
2.12.2.1 Setting Up an IP Address via the Front Panel
Assigning an IP address to SecureSync, using the front panel keypad and inform-
ation display is a preferred way to provide network access to the unit, thus
enabling you thereafter to complete the setup process via the WebUI.
Note: The following instructions apply to IPv4. To configure static
addresses in IPv6, you will need to use either the CLI or the front
panel.
