Configuring Network Settings

There are two ways to configure the network settings: via Web interface and through TPP's command line interface (CLI).

Configure TPS Network Settings via Web Interface

Open TPS Web Interface and click Network menu item.

To enable automatic DHCP network configuration select DHCP mode and click Apply:

Enable DHCP via Web

If you are using DHCP server built into Microsoft Windows Server OS check the chekbox Windows DHCP buggy server compatibility. Click Apply.

To set IP address manually select Static mode and enter IP address with network mask to IP4 field, input gateway IP address to Gateway field.
Click Apply.

Enable static IP via Web

DNS 0 and DNS 1 fields are optional.

!!! All settings will be changed immediately after click on 'Apply' button. Switching from/to DHCP to/from static IP will change TPS IP address so you may loose your Secure Shell and WI sessions. If you will have problems to access to TPS through network you'll need serial port connection to know it's new IP address or to change network settings.

Configure TPS Network Settings via CLI Interface

Open serial port connection or login via Secure Shell.

All editions mentioned below are done in /etc/systemd/network/wired.network file.
Use Midnight Commander ('mc') internal editor or any traditional Linux CLI utility to change this file.

To enable DHCP change this configuration file to:

[Match]
Name = eth0

[Network]
DHCP = ipv4

If you're using Microsoft DHCP server from Microsoft Windows Server OS and want to explicitely define MAC-IP assignment add ClientIdentifier = mac line to DHCP section of the configuration file:

[Match]
Name = eth0

[Network]
DHCP = ipv4
ClientIdentifier = mac

Quit editor and run command to apply changes wrn :


root@tpp:~# systemctl restart systemd-networkd

To define static IP configuration change file to:

[Match]
Address=192.168.75.208/24
Gateway=192.168.75.1

, where Address=192.168.75.208/24 is IP address + netmask joined in one field (short notation).

Quit editor and run command to apply changes wrn :


root@tpp:~# systemctl restart systemd-networkd

To set DNS servers addresses ? add one or two records into Match section:

[Match]
Address=192.168.75.208/24
Gateway=192.168.75.1
DNS = 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4

Quit editor and run command to apply changes:


root@tpp:~# systemctl restart systemd-resolved

* If no DNS servers specified TPS will use google DNS if available.
