Configuring IP Protocol
102 Perle 833IS User Guide
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server that supports BOOTP may
also be used. Many DHCP servers support BOOTP for the permanent assignment of
addresses for servers on the network.
Use RARP
When checked, the 833IS will attempt to acquire the Server IP address from a
RARP server.
Specify an IP Address
When checked, the 833IS will use the IP address defined in the IP address and
subnet mask fields.
IP Address
Enter a valid IP address in this field. See your IP Network Administrator for this
information.
IP Subnet Mask
An IP network can be partitioned into subnetworks, or subnets. IP networks on a
single LAN segment are not likely to have subnets defined. However, larger IP
network with IP routers are likely to have subnets defined.
If your IP network has not been partitioned, the IP subnet mask will default to the
correct value. If you have set up subnets in your IP network, set the mask as defined
by the IP Network Administrator.
Use Default IP Gateway
When checked, lets the 833IS access external IP networks via a Default IP Router.
Routers can be used to separate your IP network from external IP networks. It is
common to have one router that provides a controlled link to these outside networks
(such as the Internet). This router is known as the Default IP router. It also may be
referred to as the Default router or Default gateway.
If you have enabled Use Default IP Gateway, enter the IP address of the router in this
field. See your IP Network Administrator for this information.
