Automatic IP Address Configuration
An IP address can be assigned automatically. You then enter related network
settings.
To assign an IP address automatically:
1. On the main menu, click Network.
2. Select Obtain IP address automatically.
3. Enter the following (as necessary):
BOOTP
Select Enable to permit the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP)
server to assign the IP address from a pool of addresses
automatically. Enable is the default.
DHCP
Select Enable to permit the Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) to assign a leased IP address to the
UDS1100 unit automatically. Enable is the default.
AutoIP
Select Enable to permit the UDS1100 to generate an IP in the
169.254.x.x address range with a Class B subnet. Enable is
the default.
DHCP Host Name Enter the name of the host on the network providing the IP
address.
Note: Disabling BOOTP, DHCP, and AutoIP (all three checkboxes) is not
advised as the only available IP assignment method will then be ARP or
serial port.
4. When you are finished, click the OK button.
5. On the main menu, click Apply Settings.
Static IP Address Configuration
You can manually assign an IP address to the unit and enter related network
settings.
To assign an IP address manually:
1. On the main menu, click Network.
2. Select Use the following IP configuration.
3. Enter the following (as necessary):
IP Address If DHCP is not used to assign IP addresses, enter it manually
in decimal-dot notation. 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 unit. The gateway address must be within the local
network.
