Netmask (Subnet mask)
This is the IP subnet mask of the local unit. The typi-
cal setting that is suitable for most cases is 255.255.255.0 .
Gateway (Router)
This may be the IP address of the IP Router connect-
ing the local IP network with some other IP network.
This is not used or required in basic configurations.
Syslog Server (IP address)
Various services generate syslog (RFC 3164) mes-
sages, which can be forwarded to a remote syslog dae-
mon. The remote syslog daemon IP address can be en-
tered on the System page.
Syslog Severity Level Filter
You can customize syslog logging by choosing log
information. Our defaults are compatible with
most Ethernet equipment defaults for the Class
of Service that Livewire requires; you should
not need to change them unless instructed by
Axia Support.
System Conguration Page
The System Configuration page, shown in
Figure 3-10, allows configuring the device’s
IP address and related settings. It also permits
choosing between a primary and secondary
bank of software and to download new software
into the secondary bank. The currently running
software version is displayed here as well. You
must click the Apply button for changes to take
place.
IP Settings
These are the usual IP-related settings (see
Introduction to Livewire: Systems Primer for
an overview and some good references to ad-
ditional information). Your network administra-
tor should be able to provide the needed values.
Each unit must have a unique IP address.
Host name
The name is a 12-character, alphanumeric
name for this device that may include hyphens
but NOT spaces; those will be converted to hyphens.
This name is used to identify the panel on the network.
You may wish to include the location of the intercom
panel (studio or rack) in the name for ease of reference.
Network Address (IP Address)
NOTE: If you change the IP address you will lose
your browser connection when you click Apply,
and will need to reconnect using the new IP ad-
dress.
The IP address of the IP-Intercom station. Each
Livewire device must have a unique IP address. Normal-
ly this address would be set using the front panel or using
the BootP program, but it can be checked or changed
from this web page, if needed.
