Network Basic Settings
These procedures describe how to assign an IP address on the Network
Settings page. For complete information about all of the fields and the
operation of this page, see Network Settings.
To assign an IP address:
1. Choose Device Settings > Network. The Network Settings page
opens.
2. Specify a meaningful Device Name for your KSX II device. Up to 32
alphanumeric characters using valid special characters and no
spaces.
3. In the IPv4 section, enter or select the appropriate IPv4-specific
network settings:
a. Enter the IP Address if needed. The default IP address is
192.168.0.192.
b. Enter the Subnet Mask. The default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0.
c. Enter the Default Gateway if None is selected from the IP Auto
Configuration drop-down.
d. Enter the Preferred DHCP Host Name if DHCP is selected from
the IP Auto Configuration drop-down.
e. Select the IP Auto Configuration. The following options are
available:
None (Static IP) - This option requires that you manually specify
the network parameters.
This is the recommended option because the KSX II is an
infrastructure device and its IP address should not change.
DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used by
networked computers (clients) to obtain unique IP addresses
and other parameters from a DHCP server.
With this option, network parameters are assigned by the DHCP
server. If DHCP is used, enter the Preferred host name (DHCP
only). Up to 63 characters.
4. If IPv6 is to be used, enter or select the appropriate IPv6-specific
network settings in the IPv6 section:
a. Select the IPv6 checkbox to activate the fields in the section.
b. Enter a Global/Unique IP Address. This is the IP address
assigned to the KSX II.
c. Enter the Prefix Length. This is the number of bits used in the
IPv6 address.
d. Enter the Gateway IP Address.
