Gateway

Using a gateway, you can address IP addresses from external

networks. If you wish to use a gateway, you can configure the

relevant parameter via the TPG Control Center or the InterCon-

NetTool.

Hardware Address

The TPG is addressable by means of its world-wide unique hardware

address. This address is commonly referred to as the MAC or

Ethernet address. The manufacturer has defined this address in the

hardware of the device. The address consists of 12 hexadecimal

numbers. The first six numbers represent the manufacturer, while

the last six numbers identify the individual device.

The hardware address can be found on the housing, the InterCon-

NetTool, the status or service page.

The use of separators within the hardware address depends on the

platform. Note the following conventions when entering the

hardware address:

Host Name

The host name is an alias for an IP address. The host name uniquely

identifies the TPG in the network and makes it easier to remember.
