IPv4 Status Window
The
IPv4 Status
window displays the current IP address, subnet, and other IP related information assigned to the
device. It also allows renewing the address if the profile is using DHCP to obtain the IP information. Tap
Renew
to
initiate the IP address renewal process. The
IPv4 Status
window updates automatically when the IP address
changes.
To open the
IPv4 Status
window, tap

IPv4 Status Fields
Field Description
IP Type Displays the IP address assignment method used for the current profile:
DHCP
or
Static
. If
the
IP Type
is
DHCP
, the IP address and other information shown is obtained from the DHCP
server. The DHCP server address and the lease information also appears.
If the
IP Type
is
Static
, the window displays the IP address and other information entered in
the profile.
IP Address Displays the device’s IP address. The Internet is a collection of networks with users that
communicate with each other. Each communication carries the address of the source and
destination networks and the particular machine within the network associated with the user
or host computer at each end. This address is called the IP address. Each node on the IP
network must be assigned a unique IP address that is made up of a network identifier and
a host identifier. The IP address as a dotted-decimal notation with the decimal value of each
octet separated by a period, for example, 192.168.7.27.
Subnet Displays the device’s subnet address. Most TCP/IP networks use subnets to manage
routed IP addresses. All IP addresses have a network part that specifies a physical
network, and a host part that specifies a host on that physical network. The subnet mask
allows a network administrator to use some of the bits typically used to specify the host, to
instead specify physical sub-networks within an organization. This helps organize and
simplify routing between physical networks.
Gateway Displays the gateway address. A gateway forwards IP packets to and from a remote
destination.
DCHP Server Displays the IP addresses of the DHCP server.
Lease
Obtained
Displays the date and time that the IP address was obtained.
