USER’S GUIDE

AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH

Boot mode setting. This setting selects which method will be used to

define the Automatic Transfer Switch’s TCP/IP settings whenever the

Automatic Transfer Switch starts, resets, or reboots:

• Manual: Three settings (System IP, Subnet Mask, and Default

Gateway) are available only when Manual is used to define the

needed TCP/IP settings.

• BOOTP only: A BOOTP server provides the TCP/IP settings.

• DHCP only: A DHCP server provides the TCP/IP settings.

• DHCP & BOOTP: The Automatic Transfer Switch will attempt to get its

TCP/IP settings from a BOOTP server first, and then, if it cannot

discover a BOOTP server, from a DHCP server.

An After IP Assignment setting will, by default, switch Boot

mode from its default DHCP & BOOTP setting to BOOTP

only or DHCP only, depending on the type of server that

supplied the TCP/IP settings to the Automatic Transfer

Switch.

For information about the After IP Assignment setting, and

other settings that affect how the Automatic Transfer Switch

uses BOOTP and DHCP, see Advanced settings; For more

information about how to use DHCP, see Boot Mode.
