Assigning an IP Address
For the unit to operate correctly on a network, it must have a unique IP address on
the network. There are three basic methods for logging into the device server and
assigning the IP address:
DHCP: By default, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is enabled on the
device server. DHCP allows a DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address to
the device server. If you use DHCP, the device server is assigned a new IP address
each time it boots.
DeviceInstaller: You can manually assign the IP address using a graphical user
interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network. (See 3:Getting Started.)
Serial Port Login: With this method, you connect a terminal or a PC running a
terminal emulation program to the unit’s serial port (CH 1). (See 4:Using Setup
Mode.)
