EtherWave - WMR
6.0 Configuration
6.1.4.1 Local IP Configuration
6.1.4.1.1 Bridge
Image 6F: Network Configuration (Bridge), Local IP Configuration
Submenu
This submenu, along with Radio Configuration settings, are the
minimum which must be considered when implementing any
EtherWave-WMR network.
It must be determined if the unit is to be either:
·
assigned an IP address (by a DHCP server), or
·
given a static (unchanging) IP address.
Once the above is ascertained, the items within this submenu may
be configured.
DHCP: Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol may
be used by networked
devices (Clients) to obtain
unique network addresses
from a DHCP server.
Advantage:
Ensures unique IP addresses
are assigned, from a central
point (DHCP server) within a
network.
Disadvantage:
The address of a particular
device is not ‘known’ and is
also subject to change.
STATIC addresses must be
tracked (to avoid duplicate
use), yet they may be
permanently assigned to a
device.
IP Address Mode
If ‘static’ is selected, the three following fields (see Image 6F) are to
be manually populated with values which will suit the network/
devices to which the EtherWave-WMR is connected.
