Network Settings
Network: IP Address
Class: Required
This setting is required for network interface eth0 on the system for proper RMS
server operation.
Class: Required, Conditional
For Telestra systems running in HLA mode, IP addresses for network interfaces eth1 and eth2
are also required.
This is the IP address for a network interface card on the Telestra system.
Each Telestra system will have at least one network interface, but may have more. Each plug
jack on each card will have its own IP address.
Network: Gateway IP Address
Class: Conditional
Depending on the network architecture, this setting may be required for network
interface eth0 on the system for proper RMS server operation. Contact your network adminis-
trator for more information.
Class: Required, Conditional
For Telestra systems running in HLA mode, gateway IP addresses for network interfaces eth1
and eth2 are also required.
The Gateway IP Address is the IP address of the network server.
The network server is the computer that can perform DNS lookups, route network packets
based on IP addresses, and can also be the entry/exit point from the local-area network (LAN)
to a wide-area network (WAN) like the Internet. Contact your network administrator for more
information.
Network: Card Mode
This setting dictates how Telestra’s ethernet cards are configured as members of TCP/
IP networks. The three options are: “fixed”, “dhcp”, and “off”. Each ethernet card
inside Telestra can have a different mode.
Fixed: Telestra will assign the IP address and subnet mask specified in the configuration file
for that ethernet card.
DHCP: Telestra will base ethernet card settings on information returned by the network's
DHCP server, which must be present for this to work properly. If IP address and netmask set-
tings exist in the configuration file for this card, they will be ignored.
Off: This ethernet card will be disabled. If IP address and netmask settings exist in the config-
uration file for this card, they will be ignored.
