ASUS Wireless "WL-HDD" User’s Manual 41
Chapter 3 - Software Configuration
The LAN menu page has the following settings:
Get IP Automatically
Select Yes (default) or No to get an IP address automatically from a DHCP
server.
If you select Yes, this means that the ASUS Wireless "WL-HDD" will send
out a DHCP request during bootup. If you have a DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server on the network, set this option so that the
ASUS Wireless "WL-HDD" can receive an automatic IP address and subnet
mask assignment. The DHCP server automatically assigns the ASUS
Wireless "WL-HDD" an IP address when it is powered up. To determine
what settings have been assigned to the ASUS Wireless WL-HDD, check
the Status page (see “Status”).
If you select No, the ASUS Wireless "WL-HDD" accepts a static IP address.
You can manually configure the IP address and subnet mask in this case.
Enter an IP address and a subnet mask in the field provided to assign the
ASUS Wireless "WL-HDD" a static IP address. If you don’t know your
Gateway setting, leave it empty (not 0.0.0.0).
IP Config
Click the IP Config option on the left panel to display
its submenus. The IP Config submenus provide options
for your LAN and DHCP settings as described in the following sections.
