assigned a new IP address for that network. DHCP can be used to manage
these assignments automatically. Then, click Apply.
Optional: If you prefer, you can enter the client name of the host in the Client
Hostname text box (under "Use DHCP"). The limit of the Client Hostname is
16 characters.
• Manually Configure: Select this option if you want to statically assign an IP
address to the interface. For example: you may want to assign a "static"
(permanent) address to a computer that will always be used as a server. This
enables other computers to connect to it. Static addressing is also beneficial to
users that need to maintain a "constant" connection to the Internet. Then, click
Apply.
Note: If you selected the Manually Configure option, enter the Internet address that
you want to assign to the interface in the IP Address text box. You will also enter the
subnet/netmask for the IP address. Select the appropriate netmask in the Netmask
drop-down list.
After you change the Internet address for an Ethernet or directly connected
interface, you must close the SPEEDLAN 9000 Configurator every interface.
Otherwise, the information will not be updated. If you follow this step correctly,
the next time you open the SPEEDLAN 9000 Configurator, these changes will
be updated.
