Net Mask
Also often called the ‘subnet-mask’, this value is used alongside the IP address
to help define a smaller collection (or subnet) of devices on a network. In this
way a distinction is made between locally connected devices and ones that are
reachable elsewhere, such as on the wider Internet. This process helps to reduce
overall traffic on the network and hence speed up connections in general.

Gateway
This is the address of the device that links the local network (to which the
ServSwitch CX with IP is connected) to another network such as the Internet.
Usually this is a network switch or router and it will be used whenever a device
to be contacted lies outside the local network.

VNC Port

will be channelled (see
This is the logical link through which communications with a remote VNC viewer

). The default setting is 5900 which is
a widely recognised port number for use by VNC software. However, in certain
circumstances it may be advantageous to alter this number - see

for more details.
Note: The VNC port and HTTP port can be set to the same port number in order
to simplify router and firewall configuration. If this is done then the ServSwitch
CX with IP will “listen” for both types of traffic on the single port.

HTTP Port
This is the logical link through which communications with a remote web
browser will be channelled. The default setting of 80 is an established standard
for web (HTTP – HyperText Transfer Protocol) traffic though this can be changed
to suit your local network requirements.

Clear IP Access Control
This option removes all entries from the IP access control feature within the
ServSwitch CX with IP. The IP access control feature (configurable by a global
admin user) allows certain network address ranges to be denied access to the
ServSwitch CX with IP. If set incorrectly, it is possible to exclude all network users
and so this option provides an emergency recovery point.

Mac Addr
Media Access Control address – this
is the unique and unchangeable code
that was hard coded within your
ServSwitch CX with IP unit when it
was built. It consists of six 2-digit
hexadecimal (base 16) numbers
separated by colons. A section of
the MAC address identifies the
manufacturer, while the remainder is effectively the unique electronic serial
number of your particular unit.

Use DHCP
DHCP is an acronym for ‘Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol’. Its function is
particularly useful when connecting to medium size or larger networks, such
as the Internet. When this option is selected, your ServSwitch CX with IP will
attempt to locate a DHCP server on the network. If such a server is located,
it will supply three things to the ServSwitch CX with IP: an IP address, an IP
network mask (also known as a Subnet mask) and a Gateway address. These
are not usually granted permanently, but on a ‘lease’ basis for a fixed amount
of time or for as long as the ServSwitch CX with IP remains connected and
switched on.

IP Address
This is the identity of the ServSwitch CX with IP within a network. The IP address
can be thought of as the telephone number of the ServSwitch CX with IP. Unlike
the MAC address, the IP address can be altered to suit the network to which it is
connected. It can either be entered manually or configured automatically using
the DHCP option. When the DHCP option is enabled, this entry is unavailable.
