The settings relating to the network connection (internal/external) are configured here.
The HS/FS uses only IPv4 (Internet Protocol Version 4) with 32-bit addresses.
If this document refers to an IP address, this is always an lpv4 address.
An exact description of this protocol can be found on the Internet (e.g. at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4).

Note: Representation of an IP address
An ipv4 address is a 32-bit number which is usually represented in the form of 4 values, each in the range from 0 to 255, which are separated by periods.
Example:
Example:
192.168.0.11
1.General information
Important
Only the values 0 to 254 can be used for the IP address of the HS/FS!
Network mask
The field is used for entering the network mask, often referred to as subnet mask or subnetwork mask.
Together with the IP address, this number indicates which network segment your computer belongs to.
A subnet mask is a 32-bit number which in terms of the structure and representation is identical to the IP address of the HS/FS.
Usually, the values 0 to 255 are used for the four blocks of a standard subnet mask (such as, for example

Internal gateways
The HS/FS reaches systems lying outside the local address space via these gateways.
A gateway is a device which is connected to several physical TCP/IP networks which can forward or distribute IP packets to each other.
A gateway translates different transport protocols or data formats (for example IPX and IP) and is added to networks primarily due to this translation function.
Up to 10 internal gateways can be entered.

2.1.No access / dedicated line
Important
If entries are made for default gateway and DNS and the HS/FS can reach the Internet via this, then sending via e-mail, FTP transfers or the integration of a camera on the Internet is possible, however!
This can result in connection costs!
This can result in connection costs!
Dedicated line
The HS/FS is connected to the Internet via a dedicated line with its own/fixed IP address.
Default gateway
Is used to enter the IP address for the default gateway which you want to add. This is the address of a local IP router which is located in the same network as this computer and which is used for forwarding data to destinations outside the local network.
The numbers 0 to 255 are permitted in this fields.
A gateway is a router which connects separate IP network segments to one another. For example, a network segment often needs a gateway for connection with a different network segment, a WAN (Wide Area Network), or the Internet.

DNS server
Field for the IP address of the preferred or primary DNS server for this HS/FS.
This server is used first to resolve DNS names requested by this computer and which cannot be resolved with local name resolution information to IP addresses.

Secondary DNS server
Field for the IP address of the alternative or secondary DNS server for this HS/FS.
This server is used if the DNS server specified in the preferred DNS server cannot be reached or cannot resolve the DNS names requested by this computer to IP addresses.

2.2.ISDN - Dial-up connection (portal) - permanent / on demand
Note
Use this setting to connect to the Gira portal (
geraeteportal.gira.de
or deviceportal.gira.com
).Important
The (old) portal addresses
homeserver.gira.de
and homeserver.gira.com
are no longer available!ISDN - Permanent dial-up connection (portal)
The HS/FS automatically connects to the Internet via ISDN after start-up and maintains the connection.
Access can be made via the Internet portal.
Access can be made via the Internet portal.
ISDN - Establish dial-up connection on demand (portal)
The HS/FS connects to the Internet and the Internet portal via the ISDN line by means of a call.
Access can be made via the portal.
Access can be made via the portal.
Outgoing MSN
The HS/FS establishes the connection to the Internet provider with this phone number (MSN).
With HS/FS devices of HS2, HS3 and FS, this is done via an integrated ISDN card, with devices from HS4 / FS4 via one (or two) external USB-ISDN adapters (not included in delivery).
The MSN is the telephone number without the local network or the extension of a telephone system.
Examples:
- 02195 4567 in this case the MSN is the 4567
or in a PBX:
- 02195 602-123 in this case the 123 is the MSN.
