MGP Pro Series • HTML Configuration and Control 88
DHCP radio buttons
The DHCP On radio button directs the MGP Pro to ignore any entered IP addresses and
to obtain its IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server (if the
network is DHCP capable).
The DHCP Off radio button turns DHCP off. Contact the local system administrator for the
setting of this control.
IP Address field
The IP Address field contains the IP address of the connected MGP Pro. This value is
encoded in the MGP Pro flash memory.
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields separated by dots
(periods). Each field can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeros, up to 3 digits
total per field, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.
The factory-installed default address is 192.168.254.254, but if this conflicts with other
equipment at your installation, you can change the IP address to any valid value.
NOTE: IP address changes can cause conflicts with other equipment. Only local
system administrators should change IP addresses.
Gateway IP Address field
The Gateway IP Address field identifies the address of the gateway to the mail server to be
used if the MGP Pro and the mail server are not on the same subnet.
The gateway IP address has the same validity rules as the system IP address.
Subnet Mask field
The Subnet Mask field is used to determine whether the MGP Pro is on the same subnet as
the mail server when you are subnetting. For more information, see Subnetting, a Primer
on page 110.
MAC Address field
The Media Access Control (MAC) Address consists of six hexadecimal character pairs
and is used to identify the processor hardware. This address is hard-coded in the unit and
cannot be changed.
