Specs
• Ensure that you have specified generally valid IP information. For example, the unit cannot assign an
address of 0.0.0.0 because it is not valid for IP communications.
• For static assignment, the DNS server address is optional. However, if you do not specify a valid
server, you must know the target IP address for any IP-based tests. That is, the unit will be unable to
resolve domain names such as www.google.com.
5.1.2 Results - IP Network Setup
The results screen displays either the assigned IP information, or a failure message if the process failed.
If a DHCP operation fails, check the following:
• The unit is properly connected to an active, networked device. For example, when using the 10/100
interface, the Ethernet cable must be properly connected. Or, for the Wi-Fi interface, the unit must be
within range of an active wireless node.
• The target network has an active DHCP server. In a home network, the DHCP server is normally
incorporated with the home router, in which case you may need to log into the router to ensure that
the DHCP server has not been disabled. See the router documentation for more information.

5.2 Connection Information
This function reports the IP information that is currently assigned to the active interface and is identical to
the results screen from a successful IP Network Setup. For more information, see IP Network Setup on
page 5-1.
