Software Operations
Section 4
1. The “Local Networking Configuration” menu allows
the user to configure the Ethernet port to operate in one of
three modes once enabled. If the unit is configured to have a
static IP address, then the user must know what the
characteristics of the network are that the unit will be
connected to. In DHCP client mode, the unit will broadcast a
request for an IP address from a properly configured DHCP
server on the network. In DHCP server mode the unit will
assign itself an IP address of 192.168.1.100 and it will also
listen for DHCP IP address requests. If the user connects a
device (laptop) directly to the Ethernet port (cabling
requirements may differ) the unit will issue an IP address of
192.168.1.90. The unit is currently capable of issuing one
client address. This is done to limit cataclysmic events
should the unit be connected to a network that already has a
DHCP server.
2. The menu for “Remote Networking Configuration”
provides the user with a method to configure the modem
connected to the internal USB port of the SBC. This version of
software is preconfigured to enable the default modem type
installed in the unit and no user selection is necessary.
4. The “SNMP Configuration” menu is not supported for
this revision of the product.
3. The “Network Protocol Configuration” menu is used to
toggle off and on each of the available protocols.
