Station Parameters

This dialog box shows details of the local station.

The values cannot be changed. The dialog box displays the determined information.

Station Name

You can freely select a name for the device. This name will be displayed when you run a station scan in the Select a Station in Your Network dialog box.

MAC Address

The MAC address of the network adapter. Every station in the Ethernet network has a unique Ethernet address. This address can be changed if the OSI-H1 driver is installed.

Hint: If the MAC address will be changed over the OSI-H1 driver it is used for OSI-H1 connections only. The MAC for TCP/IP will not be affected

Use DHCP

Here you can enable automatic configuration via a DHCP server. This check box should only be selected if a DHCP server exists in the local network.

IP Address

This entry specifies the station's address when the TCP/IP protocol is used, see IP Addresses.

Subnet Mask

This parameter determines which station requests to the active network are allowed to pass. Addresses in which the masked parts differ are transmitted to the routers. If no router has been parameterized, the subnet mask is irrelevant.

Domain Name

The domain name is used for symbolic requests in which no domain has been explicitly specified. This is usually the case with names that have no dot.

DNS Addresses

These addresses specify the servers that resolve the symbolic Internet names to the IP number addresses in the network.

Router Addresses

Routers are used if the station should also communicate with stations located outside its own network.
