Figure 2-16. IP Address Configuration
You can enter the Source IP manually or by using DHCP.
The Source IP Address is the address you assign to the
Network Assistant. The Network Assistant responds to
pings received from a network station. To return a
response, the Network Assistant must have a valid IP
source address.
The address must be:
Correct for the particular subnet to which the Network
Assistant is attached (to determine what range of
addresses is valid for a particular subnet you must
know the subnet mask).
Unique (there must not be a duplicate address on the
network).
The Network Assistant checks for duplicate IP addresses
before using a source address. Therefore, you can
choose just about any address. It is still best, however, to
check with your local IP address administrator to find out
the Source IP Address to use for the Network Assistant. If
the source IP address is not valid for the local subnet, you
probably will not get any ping responses.
Manually Entering Addresses
To display the Address Entry Keypad (Figure 2-17) for
manual entry, press a boxed IP address. Use the keypad
to input digits for the desired IP address.
