The
local
menu allows you to choose one of the (up to) three available network interfaces to
configure:
•
robot_interface
•
wired_network_interface
•
radio_interface
(radio model only)
Choosing either of the three available interfaces leads to a further menu tree. Each interface
allows the same configuration options:
•
DHCP off
- Use static IP settings. Static IP assignment is the default. Selecting this option
prompts user to set IP parameters one by one.
•
DHCP on
- if connecting to a local area network with DHCP server. Allows the DHCP server
to assign an IP address automatically to the adapter when connected. This option is made
available for the flexibility of end users, but it is not generally recommended to connect to
a local area network. Contact Kinova support if this is an option that your organization is
interested in exploring.
•
address
- set the IP address individually
•
subnet_mask
- set the subnet mask individually
•
default_gateway
- set the default gateway individually
