4.3.4 Access Control
This section describes the "Access Control" page of the iServers’s Web interface. This
page allows the users to set up the network and security parameters of the iServer.
At the initial entrance to the “Access Control” page you will be prompted for the LOGIN
Password (see Figure 4.6) prior to an ADMINISTRATOR Password.
Figure 4.10 Access Control
Login Password: This allows users to access and modify all of the iServer Home Page
menu items, except “Access Control”, which requires an Administrator password. The
default Login password is 12345678. This password can be up to 16 alpha-numeric case-
sensitive characters. If there is no Login Password assigned (blank box) the iServer will
not require a password to access and modify iServer Home page menu items.
Admin (administrator) Password: This allows users to access and modify the "Access
Control" page. The default password is 00000000. This password can be up to 16 alpha-
numeric case-sensitive characters. If there is no Administrator Password assigned (blank
box) the iServer will not require password to access and modify "Access Control" page.
Host Name: Refer to Section 3.4, DNS.
MAC Address: This is also called Hardware address or Ethernet address, which is
assigned to the iServer at production. The MAC (Media Access Control) address is the
iServer’s unique hardware number and is not changeable.
IP Address: The IP (Internet Protocol) address is a 32-bit number that identifies each
sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Ethernet or the Internet.
The iServer’s default IP address is 192.168.1.200. The iServer’s IP address should be
changed to fit user’s networking environment. Consult with your IT department for
obtaining an IP address.
Gateway Address: A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another
network. A gateway is often associated with a router, which knows where to direct a given
packet of data that arrives at the gateway. If the iServer is sending packets to another
network node that is not on the same network on which the iServer is connected, a
gateway address needs to be given to the iServer. The gateway address should be the IP
address of the router connected to the same LAN to which the iServer is connected. The
iServer’s default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. Consult with your IT department for obtaining
a gateway address.
Subnet Mask: It is a 32-bit number that is used to determine which part of the IP address
is the network portion and which part is the host portion. The iServer’s default subnet mask
is 255.255.255.0. Consult with your IT department for obtaining a subnet mask.
Power Recycle: Clicking this button will reset the power on the iServer.
