3.1 Boot-Up Process
By default, Smart 216/232 IP boots with an automatically assigned IP address from a
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server on the network. The DHCP server
assigns the Smart 216/232 IP a valid IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask.
You can identify the IP address from the OSD at the local position. Also, where there
is no DHCP server, you can set the IP address locally via the OSD, as described in the
following procedure.
To set the IP address locally via the OSD:
1. From the local keyboard, press Shift twice.
