BOOTP Enable permits the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). The BOOTP server assigns
the IP address automatically from a pool of addresses.

assign a leased IP address to the WiBox 2100E unit automatically.
AutoIP Enable permits the WiBox 2100E to generate an IP in the 169.254.x.x
address range with a Class B subnet.
DHCP Host

IP Address
If DHCP is not used to assign IP addresses, enter it manually. The IP address
must be set to a unique value in the network.
Subnet Mask
A subnet mask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that are
assigned for the host part.
Default Gateway
The gateway address, or router, allows communication to other LAN
segments. The gateway address should be the IP address of the router
connected to the same LAN segment as the WiBox 2100E. The gateway
address must be within the local network.
DNS Server
The DNS server allows the name of a remote machine to be resolved
automatically. Enter the IP address of the DNS server. If the device is DHCP
enabled, the DHCP server provides the DNS server IP address, which will
override this configured value.
Note: This setting is applicable only in Manual Connection mode.
