CHAPTER 6: LOCAL MANAGEMENT
6-12 SEHI USER’S GUIDE
Setting the IP Address
To set the IP Address:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the IP Address field.
2. Enter the IP address into this field. The format for this entry is
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, with values for XXX being from 0 to 255.
The screen beeps if non-numerics or adjacent dots are entered. If the
entry does not have three dots it will be rejected.
3. Press Return. The IP address appears and the natural subnet mask for
the user is generated and also appears.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE option, then press the
Return key or F6. The “SAVED OK” message appears indicating that
the changes have been saved to memory.
Setting the Subnet Mask
The subnet mask defines how the SEHI treats SNMP Trap IP destination
addresses in its Trap Table.
• Set the subnet mask when workstations in the Trap Table reside on
a different subnet (i.e., across a gateway or router), and these
workstations are to receive SNMP traps.
• Use the subnet mask factory default setting of 0.0.0.0 when all trap
designated workstations are on the SEHI subnet.
The first time an attempt is made to exit the screen without
saving the changes, a “NOT SAVED?” message is displayed.
The edits are lost if the user proceeds to exit without saving
the changes.
NOTE
Consult the Network Administrator prior to setting the Subnet
Mask.
