• TCP/IP Configuration

Hostname. Is the local hostname exposed on the network. Please do not change

belongs to. Only if DNS is used.

Gateway. The IP address for the device that forwards packets to other networks

or subnets.

DNS Servers. The IP address for one or more DNS servers, each of which can

automate associations between hostnames and IP addresses. Included are icon-

buttons to Add (to enter IP address of server), delete and move Up/Down (to set

the DNS search order).

• Interface 1. Set’s the local device IP settings for NET1

• Interface 2, Set’s the local device IP settings for NET2

DHCP unless sure that your network has one or more DHCP servers! Otherwise, the VWG may become

unreachable over the network.
