3.3.1. General / IP configuration 
 
This page enables you to define all the IP parameters of the ePowerSwitch 1GR2. 
 
 
DHCP Client enabled: 
Check this box is you want to obtain the IP address, the subnet mask and the default gateway for your 
ePowerSwitch 1G
R2 via DHCP. Factory default setting for this option is disabled. 
Use of DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) requires a DHCP host to be set up on the 
network. 
IP Address: 
IP address of the ePowerSwitch 1G
R2, default is 192.168.100.200. 
Subnet Mask: 
Subnet Mask of the ePowerSwitch 1G
R2, default is 255.255.255.0. 
Default Gateway: 
Generally the address of your router, default is blank. 
Primary DNS Address: 
Primary DNS (Domain Name Server), default is blank 
Secondary DNS Address: 
Secondary DNS, default is blank 
 
Finder Program enabled: 
The Network parameters of the ePowerSwitch 1G
R2 can also be configured through a Local Area Network 
using the provided Finder Program. It is a very simple and fast configuration method if you use Windows 
as operating system. 
The Finder Program is enabled as default value. 
!!!For security reasons we suggest to disable the Finder program after the first configuration.

3.3.2. General / System time 
 
The system time of the ePowerSwitch 1GR2 is used for synchronizing scheduling actions and to timestamp 
SNMP traps, Syslog information and internal logs. The system time can be set manually with the browser 
time of the connected computer or can be automatically synchronized with one or two NTP timeservers. 
 
 
 
Current System Time: 
This field shows the current system time of the ePowerSwitch 1G
R2.  
As the system time is displayed through the browser, a small difference (1 to 2 sec) can appear as 
compared to the exact hour. The system time is nevertheless correct. 
Use Browser Time: 
If you want to set the system time using the current Browser time of your PC, select this option and click 
on the Set System Time button. 
Use NTP Server: 
If you want to set the system time using an NTP timeserver, select this option, choose a refresh interval 
and enter the IP address of the timeserver you wish to use in the Primary field. The address of a second 
timeserver can be specified in the Secondary field. The secondary timeserver is optional and is used 
only if the primary timeserver is not available.  
You can enter either the hostname (in that case you must have specified a DNS server on the IP 
configuration page) or the IP address of an NTP server.  
NTP uses port 123/UDP.  
Time Zone: 
Set the time zone corresponding to your location. The system clock will subsequently show local time. 
Without setting this, the system clock will show UTC/GMT time. Setting a time zone is only relevant if you 
are synchronizing with an NTP server.  
Daylight Saving Time: 
If you want to set Daylight Saving dates, check this box and specify the date you want to use.
