Appendix C
Connecting to an Ethernet LAN
To place the PXG600E on your Ethernet LAN, you will need to decide
between manually assigning an IP address to the PXG600E Ethernet LAN
port
or
having one assigned from an existing DHCP server.
Using a DHCP Server to Assign an IP Address
To set up the PXG600E in a DHCP environment, the network administrator
must set up the DHCP server to provide a static address each time the
PXG600E makes a DHCP request.
You will need to provide your local network administrator with the
PXG600E’s MAC address as printed on the label on the top of the unit.
Once you’ve requested a static IP address to be assigned from an existing
DHCP server, your network administrator should be able to tell you what the
IP address will be.
Write the expected static IP address down in the space provided in the
Network Configuration on page 4
for future reference.
Once the network administrator has added the PXG600E to the DHCP server,
you should be able to move forward with connecting the gateway to the
Ethernet LAN.
Manually Assigning an IP Address
To set up the PXG600E with a manually assigned IP address (and related
settings), you should request the following from your network administrator
for permanent assignment to your gateway:
•
IP Address
•
Netmask
•
Gateway
•
DNS Server
Once the network administrator has provided you with the assignments, you
can enter them on the Network Configuration web page.
Write these values down in the spaces provided in
Technical Data Sheet
on page 3
for future reference.
