4.2 Network configuration page
This page is for setting the product’s network configuration. The warning reminds you that the
product could lose its connection to the network if incorrect parameters are set. If incorrect settings,
make a return to factory settings (see
3.4 Factory settings
, page 17).
The information displayed is described below:
-
MAC Address
: this is the IP Buttons Box’s MAC address. This address is unique to each device.
This number is given on a label on the back of Bodet equipments.
-
Name
: user-defined product name + MAC adress (by default). Field that lets you easilly identify
the IP Buttons Box on the network. Example : Home_IP-Buttons.
-
Enable DHCP
checkbox: if checked, the device’s network IP settings will be configured
automatically (in the case where a DHCP server is present on the network).
If this box is unchecked, the following settings are available:
-
IP Address
: manually sets the device’s IP address. (required if not DHCP server).
-
Subnet Mask
: the subnet mask associates a IP Buttons Box with the local network.
-
Gateway
: the gateway can be used to connect the IP Buttons Box to two data networks.
-
DNS Address
: this can be used to associate a name with an IP address. This avoids
having to enter an IP address in the browser: a user-defined name can be used instead.
Example: www.bodet.com is simpler to remember than 172.17.10.88.
The Save and Reboot button saves your configuration and reboots the IP Buttons Box.
