Subnet Mask—Specify the subnet mask for the StorCenter Pro server. The Subnet mask
must be the same for all devices on the same subnet of the network. The default subnet
setting is 255.255.0.0. Keep this default setting if your LAN has an IP address range in the
format of 169.254.x.x.
Gateway—If your network has a router or gateway, enter its address here.
Domain Name—Internet Search Domain. Enter the internet search domain for your ISP
account. This is usually in the form of mycompany.com.
DNS Server—Domain Name System. DNS translates IP addresses into more easily
understandable names such as
MyComputer.MyCompany.com
. Enter the IP address of one
or more DNS servers.
Enable Jumbo Frame Support—Allows the StorCenter Pro server to send over-sized data
packets. This allows the device to send more data per packet which increases the speed and
efficiency of the network connection and reduces processor utilization.
