Setup (Advanced) → IP Services


Server

DHCP Server Disabled, Enabled (Default). The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a framework for passing configuration information

E.g.: IP address to Hosts (i.e. PC/RTU) on a TCP/IP network.

Gateway

Gateway address handed out by the DHCP Server to the DHCP Client. The default value is set to the IP address of the Ethernet interface. If the gateway is set to 0.0.0.0, no gateway address will be handed out by the DHCP Server.

Lease Start Address

Pool of addresses allocated for DHCP purpose. If a unit is configured as DHCP Server, this field represents the start IP address pool managed by the DHCP Server. Normally, GeminiG3 automatically calculates the Lease Start Address (equal to Ethernet IP Address plus one)

Lease Duration

The period over which the IP Address allocated to a DHCP client is referred to as a "lease". Lease Duration is the amount entered in minutes

A value of "0" indicates an infinite lease.

Maximum number of leases

Maximum number of DHCP client(s) a unit can serve

IPSD

IP Services Delivery - Disabled(Default), Enabled.

Allows or disallows the generation of locally provided I/P Services such as online diagnostics, alarms, etc...

NAT

Network Address Translation - Disabled, Enabled (Default)

NAT technology is a method by which IP addresses are mapped from one address space to another. In GeminiG3, it is normally used on the WAN side of an IP network to hide local IP addresses from an external IP network (i.e. Internet)

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol - Disabled, Enabled (Default)
SNMP provides means to monitor, collect and analyze diagnostic information.
After reset, the GeminiG3 sends a WARMSTART trap to all of the local (those routed through the Ethernet interface) IP addresses.

Trap IP List
To add an address to the Trap IP List:
Select Add and type the new IP address to be added to the read-only Trap IP List. The window will expand downward to show all addresses in the list.
To delete an address from the Trap IP List:
Select Delete and type the IP address to be deleted from the read-only Trap IP List.

Stop current trap report
A trap report will be re-sent repeatedly until the Stop current trap report check box is selected.
The main purpose of "Stop current trap report" option is to protect the network from being overloaded by excessive Trap reporting.
