The STB NIP 2212 NIM
890USE17700 April 2004 29
Summary of
Valid IP Address
Settings
Each rotary switch position that you can use to set a valid IP address is marked on
the STB NIP 2212 housing (See Physical Description, p. 28). The following
information summarizes the valid address settings:
For a switch-set role name, select a numeric value from 00 to 159. You can use
both switches:
On the upper switch (tens digit), the available settings are 0 to 15.
On the lower switch (ones digit), the available settings are 0 to 9.
The numeric setting is appended to the STB NIP 2212 part number, e.g.,
STBNIP2212_123, and a DHCP server assigns it an IP address.
For a BootP-served IP address (See Server-Assigned IP Addresses, p. 62),
select either of the two BOOTP positions on the bottom switch.
If you set the bottom switch to either of the two INTERNAL positions, the
IP address will be assigned by one of the following methods:
if the STB NIP 2212 is direct from the factory, it has no software set
IP parameters and will use a MAC-based IP address (See Deriving an
IP Address from a Media Access Control (MAC) Address, p. 61).
a fixed IP address using the STB NIP 2212 web configuration pages (See
Web-Based Configuration Options, p. 71)
a web-configured role name (See Configuring a Role Name, p. 82) in
association with a DHCP server
Note: For information about how the STB NIP 2212 prioritizes IP addressing
options, refer to the IP parameterization flow chart (See Determining the
IP Address, p. 63).
Note: The STB NIP 2212 requires a valid IP address to communicate on the
Ethernet network and with a host. You must power cycle the STB NIP 2212 to
configure the STB NIP 2212 with an IP address set with these rotary switches.
