Depending on the way your computer and network are set up, you
may find it convenient or even necessary to set up NPort Express over
a network. This can be done using the Telnet program.
In the following discussion, we assume you are using a Windows NT
host.
DHCP Configuration
This section is applicable if you are using your Windows NT 4.0 host
as a DHCP server, where DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configura-
tion Protocol. This type of server is set up to provide IP addresses for
new devices as they log onto a network (hence the Dynamic part of
the name). As the operation of NPort Express requires a fixed IP ad-
dress, we strongly recommend that you establish an IP reservation list
in DHCP in order to maintain fixed IP assignments based on the
server’s MAC address. NPort Express’s unique MAC address can be
found on the server’s back panel, or by using the LCD panel to access
the server’s memory. (See Appendix B for details.)
