Static IP or DHCP Client
If you select
DHCP client
the network IP address and sub-net mask must be provided by a
DHCP server on that network. If you select
Static IP
address you must specify a unique IP
address and a sub-net mask.
DHCP Server Settings.
On LAN ports 3 and 4 you can choose to run a DHCP server. Select the check box
DHCP
Server
. The DHCP server settings are only displayed and can be selected when the port
mode is set to
Static
, otherwise the DHCP server settings are not shown. The DHCP start
and end addresses must be on the same network as the port's static IP.
DNS setup
If you have access to a Domain Name Server (DNS) you can specify the address of the e-
mail server by using the server name instead of its IP address. This can be used in
Outgoing
mail server
in
on page 6-27. You may statically specify the address of one or
two DNS. Select the DNS source as static and fill in IP address or addresses.
Alternatively, if your DHCP server can provide a DNS address and you have selected DHCP
client above, then select the same LAN as your DNS source.
Gateway setup
If the ACU needs to communicate with network units outside the specified sub-nets, you
must specify a default gateway (typically a router).
