2.5 Network Communication Interfaces 2.5.1 10Base-T RJ-45 Pinout The 10BASE-T Ethernet network (RJ-45) system is used in the iServer for network connectivity. The 10 Mbps twisted-pair Ethernet system operates over two pairs of wires. One pair is used for receiving data signals and the other pair is used for transmitting data signals.
PART 3 NETWORK CONFIGURATION 3.1 Network Protocols The iServer can be connected to the network using standard TCP/IP protocols. It also supports ARP, HTTP (WEB server), DHCP, DNS and Telnet protocols. 3.2 Ethernet (MAC) Address MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number. When you're connected to the LAN from your computer, a correspondence table relates your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address.
3.3 DHCP DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol enables individual computers or devices to extract their IP configurations from a server (DHCP server). If the DHCP is enabled on your iServer, as soon as the iServer is connected to the network, there is an exchange of information between DHCP server and the iServer.
3.5 IP Address Every active device connected to the TCP/IP network must have a unique IP address. This IP address is used to build a connection to the iServer. Every computer using TCP/IP should have a unique 32-bit address. It is divided into two portions, the network ID and the host ID.
PART 4 OPERATIONS This iServer can be used and configured in several ways, depending on user’s preference and network setup. It can be configured using a Web browser, like Netscape or Internet Explorer. It can also be configured using NEWPORT’s iCONNECT Configuration Software.
4.1 iCONNECT Software The iServer may also be assigned an IP Address by using the iCONNECT software. Download the iCONNECT software from the website listed in this manual. Install iCONNECT software on a networked PC. This software is compatible with Windows 95, NT, 2000, and XP.
4.2 Setting a New IP Address over the Network Besides using the iCONNECT software, you may use the iServer’s default IP address to access it and assign a new IP address to it. The iServer is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
