5: Configuration via Serial Mode or Telnet Port An enhanced password setting (for Telnet access only) of 16 characters is available under option 6 Security from the Change Setup menu. Note: A password is not required to access the Setup Mode window through a serial connection. DHCP Name If a DHCP server has automatically assigned the IP address and network settings, discover the unit by using the DeviceInstaller network search feature. There are three methods for assigning DHCP names to the unit.  Default DHCP Name: If the DHCP name is not changed and the IP is 0.0.0.0, then the DHCP name defaults to CXXXXXX (XXXXXX is the last 6 digits of the MAC address shown on the label on the bottom/side of the unit). For example, if the MAC address is 00-20-4A-12-34-56, then the default DHCP name is C123456.  Custom DHCP Name: Create your own DHCP name. If using an IP address of 0.0.0.0, the last option in Server configuration is Change DHCP device name. This option allows you to change the DHCP name to an alphanumeric name (LTX in the example). Change DHCP device name (not set) ? (N) Y Enter new DHCP device name : LTX  Numeric DHCP Name: You can change the DHCP name by specifying the last octet of the IP address. When you use this method, the DHCP name is LTXYY where YY is what you chose for the last octet of the IP address. If the IP address you specify is 0.0.0.12, the DHCP name is LTX12. This method only works with 2-digit numbers (0-99).  The third octet of the IP address sets the BootP/DHCP/AutoIP options. To disable an option, set the appropriate bit: Table 5-2. BootP/DHCP/AutoIP Options Options AutoIP Bit 0 DHCP 1 BootP 2  For example, if the third octet is 0.0.5.0, the AutoIP and BootP options are disabled; only DHCP is enabled. (The value 5 results from adding the binary equivalents of 0 and 2.) This is the most common setting when using DHCP.  Enable DHCP FQDN: You can choose to enable or disable DHCP FQDN by specifying Y or N. Channel 1 and Channel 2 Configuration Select option 1 Channel 1 or 2 Channel 2 from the Change Setup menu to define how the serial port responds to network and serial communications.

5: Configuration via Serial Mode or Telnet Port
An enhanced password setting (for Telnet access only) of 16 characters is available
under option
6
Security
from the Change Setup menu.
Note:
A password is not required to access the Setup Mode window through
a serial connection.
DHCP Name
If a DHCP server has automatically assigned the IP address and network settings,
discover the unit by using the DeviceInstaller network search feature.
There are three methods for assigning DHCP names to the unit.
Default DHCP Name
:
If the DHCP name is not changed and the IP is 0.0.0.0,
then the DHCP name defaults to CXXXXXX (XXXXXX is the last 6 digits of the
MAC address shown on the label on the bottom/side of the unit). For example, if
the MAC address is 00-20-4A-12-34-56, then the default DHCP name is
C123456.
Custom DHCP Name
:
Create your own DHCP name. If using an IP address of
0.0.0.0, the last option in Server configuration is
Change DHCP device name
.
This option allows you to change the DHCP name to an alphanumeric name
(LTX in the example).
Change DHCP device name (not set) ? (N) Y
Enter new DHCP device name : LTX
Numeric DHCP Name:
You can change the DHCP name by specifying the last
octet of the IP address. When you use this method, the DHCP name is LTXYY
where YY is what you chose for the last octet of the IP address. If the IP address
you specify is 0.0.0.12, the DHCP name is LTX12. This method only works with
2-digit numbers (0-99).
The third octet of the IP address sets the BootP/DHCP/AutoIP options. To
disable an option, set the appropriate bit:
Table 5-2. BootP/DHCP/AutoIP Options
Options
Bit
AutoIP
0
DHCP
1
BootP
2
For example, if the third octet is 0.0.5.0, the AutoIP and BootP options are
disabled; only DHCP is enabled. (The value 5 results from adding the binary
equivalents of 0 and 2.) This is the most common setting when using DHCP.
Enable DHCP FQDN:
You can choose to enable or disable
DHCP FQDN
by
specifying Y or N.
Channel 1 and Channel 2 Configuration
Select option
1 Channel 1
or
2 Channel 2
from the Change Setup menu to define
how the serial port responds to network and serial communications
