Warning: Changing the MTU size can have an adverse affect on the transmission
speed and operation over the network. Check with your network administrator or
service provider for advice on the correct MTU size for the network.
Bandwidth limit
The bandwidth used by the Eco4 can be limited to prevent overloading on slower
networks. The Eco4 has a 10MB/s connection (10Base-T).
The maximum bandwidth that a Eco4 will use (5 users viewing images) is 6Mb/s
so any limiting over 60% does not affect the bandwidth used by the Eco4. The
maximum bandwidth used by one user is approximately 2.5Mb/s
If you want to limit the bandwidth used by the Eco4 to 1Mb/s set the bandwidth
limit to 10%.
Note: Restricting the bandwidth does not decrease the image quality, but the
update rate of the images over the network will decrease.
IP address, Subnet mask, Default gateway
A unique IP address and a subnet mask must be given to the Eco4 in order to
communicate with it over a network. On an existing network these are often
obtained from the network administrator. A Default gateway will be required if
the Eco4 is going to be viewed from a remote location, such as a WAN or dial-up
via a router.
Note: The Eco4 requires a Static IP address, even if it is connected to a dynamic
(DHCP) network.
PPP address
The PPP (Point to Point Protocol) address is used when a Hayes compatible modem
is connected to the Eco4. The PPP address must be entered into the Network
Viewing software or Web browser to view images when connected to the Eco4.
By default, the PPP address is 172.017.002.002 when the TCP/IP address is at its
default setting of 000.000.000.000. The PPP address cannot be changed directly,
but is changed automatically when the TCP/IP address is adjusted.
Factory default
Use this option to return all settings to the factory condition.
