4-2 Configuring IPmux-24 for Management IPmux-24 Ver. 1.5
Configuring DHCP Client
To facilitate integration of a new device into a DHCP IP network, if no IP address
has been manually configured, IPmux-24 automatically requests one from the
DHCP server upon booting. IPmux-24 is shipped with the DHCP client set to
Enable.
Managing IP Parameters of the IPmux-24 Host
IPmux-24 allows entering IP parameters manually or using parameters acquired
from the DHCP server.
³ To define the IP parameters manually:
1. Disable DHCP client.
IPmux-24 releases the current IP address by sending the release message
to the DHCP server, sets all host IP parameters to 0.0.0.0 and reboots
itself automatically.
2. From the Host IP menu (Configuration > System > Management > Host IP),
perform the following:
 Select IP Address to define the host IP address
 Select IP Mask to define the host IP mask.
 Select Default Gateway to set the default gateway IP address.
The default gateway must be in the same subnet as the host.
