Getting Started

2.3 Methods of Assigning the IP Address

The unit's IP address must be configured before a network connection is available. You have

the following options for assigning an IP to your unit:

Method Description

DHCP A DHCP server automatically assigns the IP address and network

settings. See

DHCP on page 2-5.

DeviceInstaller

(Recommended)

You manually assign the IP address using a graphical user interface

(GUI) on a PC attached to a network. See DeviceInstaller on page 2-6.

ARP and Telnet You manually assign the IP address and other network settings at a

command prompt using a UNIX or Windows-based system. Only one

person at a time can be logged into the configuration port (port 9999).

This eliminates the possibility of several people simultaneously

attempting to configure the unit. See

ARP and Telnet on page 2-12.

AutoIP This automatic method is appropriate when you have a small group of

hosts rather than a large network. This method allows the hosts to

negotiate with each other and assign addresses, in effect creating a

small network. See AutoIP on page 2-5.

Serial Port Login You initially configure the unit through a serial connection. See Serial

Port Login on page 2-13.

These methods are described in the remaining sections of this chapter.

Note: In most installations, a fixed IP address is desirable. The systems administrator

generally provides the IP address. Obtain the following information before starting to set up

your unit:

IP Address: ______ ______ ______ ______

Subnet Mask: ______ ______ ______ ______

Gateway: ______ ______ ______ ______
