BOOTP
Select
Enable
to permit the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). The
BOOTP server automatically assigns the IP address from a
pool of addresses.
DHCP
Select
Enable
to permit Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP). DHCP automatically assigns a leased IP address to
the WiPort unit.
Auto-IP
The WiPort generates an IP in the 169.254.x.x address range
with a Class B subnet. Select the
Enable
checkbox to enable
this feature.
DHCP Host Name
Enter the name of the host on the network providing the IP
address.
Note:
We do not advise disabling BOOTP, DHCP, and Auto-IP (all three
checkboxes) as the only available IP assignment method would then be ARP
or serial port.

Static IP Address Configuration
To assign an IP address and its network configuration manually:
1. Click
Network
from the main menu.
2. Select
Use the following IP configuration
.
3. Enter the following (as necessary):
IP Address
If DHCP is not used to assign IP addresses, enter it manually.
The IP address must be set to a unique value in the network.
Subnet Mask
A subnet mask defines the number of bits taken from the IP
address that are assigned for the host part.
Default Gateway
The gateway address, or router, allows communication to
other LAN segments. The gateway address should be the IP
address of the router connected to the same LAN segment as
the unit. The gateway address must be within the local
network.
DNS Server
The DNS server allows the name of a remote machine to be
resolved automatically. Enter the IP address of the DNS
server. If the device is DHCP enabled, the DHCP server
provides the DNS server IP address, which will override this
configured value.
Note:
This setting is applicable only in Manual Connection
mode.

OK
button.
