AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH
109
Boot Mode
Introduction
Overview
In addition to using a BOOTP server or manual settings, the Automatic
Transfer Switch can use a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP)
server to provide the settings that it needs to operate on a TCP/IP network.
The method that is used to provide the network settings for the Automatic
Transfer Switch depends on Boot mode, a TCP/IP option in the Network
menu. To use a DHCP server to provide the network assignment for the
Automatic Transfer Switch, Boot mode must be set to either DHCP &
BOOTP, its default setting, or DHCP only.
