Network Configuration
Set the network connection in . The Network card shows and helps set the current parameters of Access Commander. Remember to enable manual configuration before setting the parameters.
The configuration methods include setting of the network parameters automatically from the DHCP server or manually. When the automatically set IP address from DHCP is changed into a manually set IP address, redirection to the manually entered IP address is made in the web browser. After redirection, Access Commander is restarted and system re-login is required.
Caution
By changing the configuration method to DHCP, you change the server IP address and may cause connection interruption.
If you change the HTTP Proxy server, Access Commander will automatically restart.
Device IP Address Change Detection
Access Commander establishes connections to devices via their IP addresses. To avoid losing connection to a device with a dynamic IP address, two methods of detecting device IP addresses are available.
Network Scanner
Access Commander periodically scans the local network segment using the integrated 2N Network Scanner to identify the connected devices and their current IP addresses.
Device Callback
This method detects the IP addresses of the devices outside the local network segment. The devices will report themselves on startup, whenever the IP address changes and at periodical intervals (once an hour). For a proper operation, you must specify the target destination to which the devices shall report (typically the Access Commander IP address).
