8.2 Network configuration page
This page is for setting the clock's network configuration. The warning reminds you that the clock
could lose its connection to the network if incorrect parameters are set.
The information displayed is described below:
- MAC Address : this is the clock's MAC address. This address is unique to each device. This
number is given on a label on the back of Bodet clocks.
- Name: user-defined clock name.
- Enable DHCP checkbox: if checked, the device's network IP settings will be configured automatically.
If this box is unchecked, the following settings are available:
- IP Address: manually sets the device's IP address. (required).
- Subnet Mask: the subnet mask associates a clock with the local network. (required).
- Gateway: the gateway can be used to connect the clock to two data networks.
- DNS Address: this can be used to associate a domain name with an IP address. This avoids
having to enter an IP address in the browser: a user-defined name can be used instead.Example:
www.bodet.com is simpler to remember than 172.17.10.88.
The Save and Reboot button saves your configuration and reboots the clock.
