You can adjust the network settings of your HOMAG via the local diagnostics page . Manual adjustment of the settings is necessary if you want to set special IP settings for the HOMAG CUBE in your network. As standard, the HOMAG CUBE receives the required network configurations from your Internet router via DHCP. 
We recommend using the default configuration via DHCP. In the event of a misconfiguration, the function of the HOMAG CUBE is no longer guaranteed.

On the diagnostics page, you have the following setting options:

Hostname: Change hostname of the HOMAG CUBE

  • The hostname of the CUBE is composed according to the following pattern: homag-iot-<mac address>

  • You can access the HOMAG CUBE via the hostname of the HOMAG CUBE (without knowing the IP address) on the local diagnostics page.
    This is helpful if, for example, you have Internet problems setting up the HOMAG CUBE. The local diagnostics page will help you with this.

    Note: If you have configured a domain in your network, please use the following scheme to access the local diagnostics page: <hostname>.<domain>

DNS: Configuring the name server for the HOMAG CUBE

  • The name server is used to resolve the hostname to an IP address. In small networks, this is often the Internet router. For larger networks, a separate DNS server is often operated.

Default Gateway

  • The default gateway is a node in your network through which the HOMAG CUBE finds its way to the Internet. By default, this is your Internet router.

NTP Server: Time Server

  • If you have your own time server in your network, you can configure it here. Some DHCP servers come with this automatically, so you don't have to do any configuration. If you do not have an NTP server in your network, please make sure in your firewall that the HOMAG CUBE can access one of the following default servers via the NTP protocol.

    • time1.google.com

    • time2.google.com

    • time3.google.com

    • time4.google.com

Network domain

  • If you have configured a domain in your network, you can configure it via the setting option. A domain is a network area where users are given security policies or user rights according to the organizational structure.
    In some configurations, you may have to set the domain for the name resolution of the hostname of the HOMAG CUBE. For example, you can access the local diagnostics page using the following schema: <hostname>.<domain>

DHCP / Static Network Settings

  • With the "DHCP enabled" selection, you can specify whether your HOMAG CUBE should receive the network configuration from a DHCP server or a static network configuration.

    Attention: We recommend that you use the default configuration via DHCP. In the event of a misconfiguration, the function of the HOMAG CUBE is no longer available. However, you can return to the default configuration via the factory settings .

Only when you press the "Save and activate configuration for eth0" button will the network settings be applied after confirming a dialog. The HOMAG CUBE then needs a restart.

Note: Please note that no settings should be made for eth1 as this could affect the function for the LED box.
