3.F.B.A. Network Devices
By clicking on the Configure-Button lan0 you can configure the ethernet network interface according to your network settings. Basically, you can choose between getting the IP by DHCP or manually define a static IP Address. To use a DHCP server, just activate the DHCP option. Otherwise, enter the IP Address for the client and the Subnetmask in the fields below. For data communication with an external network, the Default Gateway must be specified. If needed you can assign every network interface an own default gateway.
Under MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) you can also set your maximum packet size that can be transmitted over the network, manually. The default value is 1500 (octets).
If the communication between the Ethernet interface on the device and the remote cause problems, the network speed can be set manually under the point Choose Media-Type. By default, the network speed is automatically determined.
Save the settings by clicking on the Confirm-Button.
