PART 3 NETWORK CONFIGURATION 3.1 Network Protocols The iServer can be connected to the network using standard TCP/IP protocols. It also supports ARP, HTTP (WEB server), DHCP, DNS and Telnet protocols. 3.2 Ethernet (MAC) Address MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number. When you're connected to the LAN from your computer, a correspondence table relates your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address.
3.3 DHCP DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol enables individual computers or devices to extract their IP configurations from a server (DHCP server). If the DHCP is enabled on your iServer, as soon as the iServer is connected to the network, there is an exchange of information between DHCP server and the iServer. During this process the IP address, the Gateway address, and the Subnet Mask will be assigned to the iServer by the DHCP server.
3.5.1 Default IP Address The iServer is shipped with a default IP address set to 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. If you are going to use a Web browser or Telnet program to access the iServer using its default IP address, make sure that the PC from which you’re establishing the connection has an IP address that is in the same range as the iServer’s IP address (192.168.1.x, where x can be any number from 1 to 254. Your PC’s IP address cannot be the same as the iServer’s IP address).
PART 4 OPERATIONS This iServer can be used and configured in several ways, depending on user’s preference and network setup. It can be configured using a Web browser, like Netscape or Internet Explorer. It can also be configured using NEWPORT’s iConnect Configuration Software. If DHCP and DNS servers are used, the connection is very simple, no need to find the right IP address or watch for network conflicts, these are all done for you by your network DHCP and DNS server.
4.1 iConnect Software The iServer may also be assigned an IP Address by using the iConnect software. a) Download the iConnect software from the website listed in this manual. b) Install iConnect software on a networked PC. This software is compatible with Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, and XP. c) Use iConnect to assign an IP address to the iServer and access its web pages for configuration. You can also use any standard web browser to access the iServer’s web pages.

APPENDIX A GLOSSARY User of this manual should be familiar with following definitions: ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is a protocol for mapping an Internet Protocol address (IP address) to a physical machine address that is recognized in the local network. For example, the IP address in use today is an address that is 32-bits long. In an Ethernet local area network, however, addresses for attached devices are 48-bits long.
Appendix B IP Address An IP address is a unique 32-bit address assigned to a computer and includes: • A network ID number identifying a network. • A host ID number identifying a computer on the network. All IP addresses have been divided into three smaller groups (classes) A, B and C • Class A addresses have 8-bits of network ID and 24-bits of host ID. They can support a large number of hosts, approximately 2 = 16,777,216 computers per network. The IP addresses range in binary from 00000001.xxxxxxxx.
Appendix C IP Netmask IP Netmask or Subnet Mask is a 32-bit pattern of ones and zeros used to determine network portion of an IP address from the host portion of the IP address. Subnet mask is a network ID that is created by borrowing bits from host portion of IP address and using them as part of a network ID. The table below shows a default subnet mask for address Classes A, B, and C.
