Upon initial login, you will be asked to register your product. Spectracom recommends
to register VersaSync, so as to receive software updates and services notices. See also
"Product Registration" on page285.
2.5 Setting up an IP Address
In order for VersaSync to be accessible via your network, you need to assign an IP address to
VersaSync, as well as a subnet mask and gateway, unless you are using an address assigned
by a DHCP server.
Note: Unless you are using DNS in conjunction with DHCP (with the client con-
figured using VersaSync's hostname instead of IP address), Spectracom recom-
mends to disable DHCP, 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 the unit.
Before you continue …
… please obtain the following information from the system network administrator:
Available static IP address
This is the unique address your network administrator will assign to your Ver-
saSync unit. 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 30bits.
Gateway address
The gateway (default router) address is needed if communication to the Ver-
saSync is made outside of the local network. By default, the gateway is disabled.
