The Network screen is used to enter Ethernet configuration settings (see Figure 19).

CAUTION: If this configuration is incorrectly set, processing difficulties may occur. Before changing this
setting, evaluate the need for the change and verify the desired setting. HP recommends backing up the
interface card configuration to an external file before making changes to this setting.
Network menu options:
• Host name - to change the host name, enter an alphanumeric entry of one word, up to eight characters
in length. Select Submit.
• Ethernet Mode - the Ethernet Mode can be set to one of the following options, though 10/100Mps
(Auto-Neg.) is the default:
•10 Mps Only
• 10/100Mps (Auto-Neg.) Default
• 100Mps (half duplex) Only
• 100Mps (full duplex) Only
NOTE: The Ethernet physical address is assigned by DHCP by default.
• IP Address - is the IP address of the interface card.
• Subnet mask - is the IP subnet mask for the interface card.
• IP Gateway - is the IP address of the gateway for the Ethernet network connected to the interface card.
• DHCP - enables or disables support for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
• When DHCP is enabled, the interface card requests a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server on
the Ethernet network. The interface card must be rebooted before an IP address is requested from
the DHCP server. After the interface card is rebooted, the HTTP session must be restarted. The IP
address is different from the former non-DHCP IP address. You can now use the serial interface to
obtain the new IP address (see ”Perform configuration” on page 58).
