Caution: Be aware that, when your FieldCommander is assigned a dynamic
address, you may not know which address to enter in order to access it.
Use this setting with care.
The "System IP" page shows the following information:
IP: Internet Protocol
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Bootp: Bootstrap Protocol
ARP: Address Resolution Protocol
These fields control the IP settings of FieldCommander:
Enable ARP+PING
In situations where you don't have access to your FieldCommander unit or you have
lost its address, ARP+PING provides a solution to change it from your workstation,
see next chapter. When you uncheck the box, this feature is disabled which may lock
you out of FieldCommander so do not uncheck this box unless you know what you
are doing.
Manual IP settings
Fill out the new IP address, subnet mask and default gateway/router address here.
Set the default gateway to 127.0.0.1 when you are not using a gateway or router or
you don't know what it is. For details about the addressing, see chapter "IP
configuration".
DHCP/bootp server
Instead of manually configuring the IP addresses, they can be assigned automatically
using DHCP and bootp. Consult your network administrator if there is a DHCP or
bootp server present. Don't use this setting unless you know exactly what your are
doing.
You have to restart the system in order for the new settings to take effect. Note that you
have to point your browser to the new address and log in again when you've changed IP
settings.
