NIC Verification
31
• Gateway Address
This is the gateway IP addresses that have four segments. They
are displayed as SEG1, SEG2, SEG3, and SEG4 which can be set
to any value in the range of 0 to 255.
• DHCP
The DHCP option allows you to obtain host server IP addresses
when powering onto the network. The DHCP can be configured to:
• Enable – each time you power on, the host server
automatically assigns you a different address (if the IP address
has not been previously assigned).
• Disable – You choose the host server IP address. After the
selection, the IP Address remains fixed even after you reboot.
NIC Verification
Before performing the verification, you must connect the NIC card
to the network.
1. Print an E-NET test page (following the steps on page 26) to
verify the settings you made.
2. Verify the Netmask is correct in two locations on the E-NET test
page:
• NETWORK INTERFACES
• TCP/IP ROUTING TABLE
The Netmask must be the same in both locations. For example,
if the Netmask is listed as 255.255.255.0 in NETWORK
INTERFACES and is listed as 255.255.255.255 in the TCP/IP
ROUTING TABLE, they do not match and you must correct it
for the Gateway. Also, if a Gateway Address was entered,
verify that “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is alive” is printed under the Default
Gateway Ping Test, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the Gateway
Address. If a Gateway Address was not entered, the Default
Gateway Ping test is not required and will not display on the
page.
