4. Provide the information described in Tables 5.6 through 5.10. When done, click OK.

Note: The Advanced tab is available only for iSTAR controllers that

are using firmware version 4.0.0 or greater. Table 5.6: Controller Identity Tab

Field Description

MAC address Displays the last six nibbles of the controller’s MAC address. You cannot edit this field.

MAC addresses are unique hardware addresses that identify controllers and other Ethernet devices. They are built into GCMs at production time. A controller’s MAC address is

Master controller Select this option to indicate that the controller is a master. If you select this option, the Master tab changes to a Host tab. You can then use the Host tab to specify the host with which the controller communicates and the type of connection to the host (see Table 5.8).

If you do not select this option, it indicates that the controller is a member controller communicating with a master controller. You can then use the Master tab to specify the master controller with which the controller communicates and the type of connection to the master controller.

Table 5.7: Ethernet Adapter Tab

Field/Option Description

Adaptor Defines the type of Ethernet connection. Options are:

Onboard Ethernet Adaptor – connected via

10BaseT Ethernet.

PCMCIA Ethernet Adaptor – connected via

PCMCIA Ethernet card. This option is available only if the controller has an onboard PCMCIA card installed.

Use this as the Primary Ethernet Adaptor

If checked, uses the Ethernet adaptor specified on this tab as the primary Ethernet connection. Use the Host tab to configure secondary Ethernet connections (master controllers only).

Obtain an IP address from a DHCP Server

If you select this option, the controller uses the IP addresses assigned by the DHCP server that you specify. Software House recommends that you select this option.

Table 5.6: Controller Identity Tab (Continued)

Configuring a Controller

Specify an IP address Select this option if you want to use a specific IP address for the controller.

Note: If locked (using the lock icon), the controller only uses the IP address you specify, and does not accept translated addresses downloaded from a Network Address Translator, C•CURE system, or other remote device.

When you select this option, the following fields become active:

IP Address – Enter the controller’s IP address. All

controllers need an IP address to communicate on a TCP/IP network.The IP address you enter must match the IP address you enter for the controller in the C•CURE System Administration application.

Subnet Mask – Enter the subnet mask.

Default Gateway – Enter the IP address of the default

gateway for the controller. This field is required for iSTAR Pros that communicate across a WAN configuration.

Obtain Domain Name Server addresses automatically

If you select this option, the controller automatically obtains Domain Name Server addresses. Software House recommends that you select this option. Use the following

Domain Name Server addresses

Select this option if you want to specify the Domain Name Server(s) that the controller should use. Then enter the IP addresses of the Primary and Secondary DNS Servers in the provided fields.

Optionally, you can also enter a DNS Query Suffix (for example, “yourcompany.com”).

Table 5.7: Ethernet Adapter Tab (Continued)

Table 5.8: Host/Master Tab Section Description Primary Host Connection or Primary Master Connection

Connection Type – Defines the primary connection to

the C•CURE host or the master controller. Selections include:

Onboard Ethernet – connects via 10BaseT Ethernet.

PCMCIA Ethernet – connects via PCMCIA Ethernet card. This option is available only for controllers with an onboard PCMCIA card installed.

Modem – connects via an external or PCMCIA internal modem.

Serial – connects directly to a serial port using Remote Access Service.

IP Address or Name – Specifies the IP address of the

C•CURE host (if configuring a master) or master controller (if configuring a member).

When configuring a master controller, you can enter the NetBIOS or DNS name of the C•CURE host. When configuring a member controller, you can only enter the IP address of the master controller.

Note: If the iSTAR Pro is part of an AutoStart/Replistor redundant configuration, you must enter the NetBIOS or DNS name of the host or master controller.

Configuring a Controller Secondary Host Connection or Secondary Master Connection

Defines the type of secondary connection to the C•CURE host or master controller. Options include:

Onboard Ethernet – connects via 10BaseT Ethernet

PCMCIA – connects via PCMCIA Ethernet card Modem – connects via an external or PCMCIA internal modem

Serial – connects directly to a serial port using Remote Access Service

None – no secondary connection

An alternate master must use 10BaseT Ethernet and be configured with a master controller that uses 10BaseT for the primary connection.

Table 5.9: RAS Tab

Field/Section Description

Phone number The host phone number for the RAS server. Username Enter the username for the RAS login account. Password Enter the password for the RAS login account.

Domain Enter the domain name for the RAS account. Do not enter a workgroup into this field.

RAS Host IP Address

Use IP Address Downloaded by Host – Select this

option to connect to the IP address that is downloaded by the C•CURE system. This is the recommended option.

Use Locked Host IP Address set in ICU – Select this

option to connect only to the locked IP address that is set in the ICU.

Use this IP Address – Select this option to connect to the
