Wired Network Operation
Many nLTS products provide a 10/100 Fast Ethernet wired interface. This feature relies on
standard support from the mobile device. A wired networking solution is more reliable than WiFi
and has greater security.
Mobile devices supporting Wired Ethernet operation provide options for dynamic address setup
(DHCP) and static address setup. The choice of address management is a Network system issue.
The Ethernet addressing configuration is performed within the mobile device setup menu.
The mobile device setup and Ethernet port status are located in the Network & internet >
Ethernet menu. The Ethernet menu can only be entered when a powered Ethernet adapter is
present. The standard mobile device options permit the use of static address assignments or
dynamic address assignments via DHCP. The menu reports if the Ethernet adapter is active as
well as serving as the adapter enable.
When using DHCP, the mobile device attempts to fetch the network addressing information from
a DHCP server. If the addressing information is not located within the timeout period, the mobile
device makes no further attempts. The user must manually retrigger the Ethernet interface to start
the DHCP process. The retrigger is a simple matter of pressing the Ethernet "box" again in the
Ethernet menu.
