Configuring the IP Address Using DHCP
Using DHCP from the default web interface to configure an IP address works only for
changing the IP address of a device server that has already been assigned an IP address.
However, once an IP address is assigned, any configuration changes can be made from the
Web interface.
Prerequisite
This procedure assumes the following:
That the device server is configured as a DHCP client. Since this is the default
configuration, this will be the case unless the configuration has been changed.
That the device server is not powered on
Procedure
1 Set up a permanent entry for the device server on a DHCP server.
2 Connect the device server to the network and power it on. The IP address
configured in step 1 is assigned automatically.
Configuring the IP Address using Auto-IP
The standard protocol Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA or Auto-IP) assigns the
IP address from the reserved IP addresses in Auto-IP. Use ADDP or DHCP to find the
device and assign it a new IP address that is compatible with your network. Once the unit
is plugged in, Auto-IP automatically assigns the IP address.
