Automatic IP Address Configuration
To automatically assign an IP address and its network configuration:
1. Click Network from the main menu.
2. Select Obtain IP address automatically.
3. Enter the following (as necessary):
BOOTP
Select Enable to permit the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). The
BOOTP server automatically assigns the IP address from a
pool of addresses.
DHCP
Select Enable to permit Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP). DHCP automatically assigns a leased IP address to
the WiPort unit.
Auto-IP The WiPort generates an IP in the 169.254.x.x address range
with a Class B subnet. Select the Disable checkbox to
disable this feature.
DHCP Host Name Enter the name of the host on the network providing the IP
address.
Note: Disabling BOOTP, DHCP, and Auto-IP (i.e. all three checkboxes) is
not advised as the only available IP assignment method will then be ARP or
serial port.
4. Click the OK button when finished.
