CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION 7
YES: Enables dynamic IP addressing for UST-IP. Each time UST-IP boots, it requests an
IP address from the local DHCP server. Note that this setting can make remote access to
UST-IP from outside the LAN difficult, since the dynamically assigned IP address must
be known in order to initiate a connection.
NO (default): Assigns a fixed IP address to the UST-IP unit (recommended).
IP Address: Enter the IP address for UST-IP given by your Network
Administrator.
Subnet Mask: Enter a Subnet Mask provided by your Network
Administrator.
Default Gateway: Enter the Default Gateway if your Network Administrator
specifies one.
Enable Modem Interface: Enables Dial-up Modem access (default: YES). For UST-IP, an external
serial modem must be connected in order for this function to work properly.
Enable Web Browser Interface: Enables Web browser access to UST-IP (default: YES).

- YES (default): Utilizes the default port 5000.

Note: In order to access UST-IP from beyond a firewall, your firewall settings must enable two-way
communication through the default port 5000 or the non-default port configured above.
