5.9.1.2. Network Setting
Use this tab to modify the device's host name and configure the IP address.
By default, the device's host name equals the device's MAC address.
The device's MAC address is also used as device host name by the IPA Manager
software. To rename a device, enter a name
(e. g. “RX1”) into the "Hostname" edit box.
Press the "Save" button to save the new host name. The host name is persistent and
kept until the device is forced back to factory defaults.
The IP address can be set to be either "DHCP" or "Manual".
Select "DHCP"
to receive the IP address from a DHCP server or to be auto-
assigned with an IP from the 169.254.X.X range, in case there is no DHCP server
on the network.
Select "Manual" to set a static IP address (IPV4 address, subnet mask and gateway
address).
Press "Save" to save the new IP address. The new IP mode settings are stored in non-
volatile memory and kept, until the device is forced back to factory defaults.
Note: Special attention is required when assigning a manual IP address. The address
has to be both unique and reachable. Any mistake when entering the IP address,
subnet mask or gateway address can render the device unreachable.
