Chapter 2 Installation of FNS-7000A
2.1 Network Configuration
By factory default, FNS-7000A will search the network via DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) to detect IP address settings automatically. If your
network does not support DHCP protocol, FNS-7000A will use the default settings
as below:
IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
When FNS-7000A completes its boot-up process, the LCD panel will display
current IP address settings.
If your network does not support DHCP protocol, you must configure your FNS-
7000A to proper LAN settings before using it for the first time. (If you are not
sure about the LAN settings, please contact your network administrator).
You can change the network settings of FNS-7000A by the following ways:

•Use static IP address
To use fixed IP address for network connection, enter the following
information:
9Fixed IP Address
IP address is a 32-bit digit used to differentiate each single entity on a
network. IP address is divided into four groups of eight bits separated
by dots, e.g. 192.168.0.1.
9Subnet Mask
Subnet mask defines computers within the same local network. It is a
32-bit digit, e.g. 255.xxx.xxx.xxx.
9Default Gateway
Gateway is generally referred to an interchange point that connects
two networks, such as LAN and WAN.
9DNS Server
DNS (domain name server) maps a server name to a particular IP
address. If you do not use a DNS server, enter ‘0.0.0.0’ as server IP.
