hostname will no longer
be configured.
Obtain an IP Address via DHCP
- If a DHCP server exists on the
same network as the Gateway Series appliance, this feature may be
enabled for the IP address to be dynamically assigned via DHCP.
Note:
It is recommended that this feature be disabled if the DHCP
server is not configured to always provide the same IP address
based on MAC address. If this is the case, the Gateway Series
appliance’s network settings should be manually configured. The
MAC addresses of the Gateway Series appliance are printed on a
label on the back of the unit.
System IP Address
- If
Obtain an IP Address via DHCP
is disabled,
specify the static IP address for the Gateway Series appliance.
Note:
If a static IP address is assigned using this feature, the
Gateway Series appliance will immediately be unresponsive from
its old IP address. It may take up to 15 seconds for the new IP
address to be assigned and functional. The new IP address of the
Gateway Series appliance must be entered into the browser and
HTTPS (e.g. https://
[IP]
) must be used. If you do not connect using
HTTPS, a browser error will be displayed.
Network Mask
- If
Obtain an IP Address via DHCP
is disabled,
specify the network mask for the Gateway Series appliance.
Gateway Address
- If
Obtain an IP Address via DHCP
is disabled,
specify the gateway address for the Gateway Series appliance. The
gateway address is usually the address of the router on the network.
