iCOMPEL Digital Signage - User Guide (V8.1.1)

Host name set by DHCP

If your DHCP server supports this, then you can modify the DNS host name entry for this iCOMPEL. This enables users to

address the iCOMPEL by its name, as well as by its IP address.

If you are using the Static mode, you must specify an IP address for the iCOMPEL in this entry. If you are using DHCP,

this entry is ignored.

The IP address must be unique on your network.

Netmask

The Netmask (also known as a subnet mask) is used to tell how much of an IP address identifies the sub-network the host
