NOTE: Select Yes to allow limited use of the Reset Button, this means that the "Reset to default"

which the "Reset to default" button will be automatically disabled and will no longer work.
Network Settings
You must assign a valid IP address to the NPort IA5000A before the NPort can start operating within your
network. Your network system administrator should provide you with an IP address and related settings for
your network. The IP address must be unique within the network (otherwise the NPort IA5000A will not have
a valid connection to the network). First time users may refer to Chapter 3, Initial IP Address Configuration,
for more information.
You can choose from four possible IP Configuration modes
—
Static, DHCP, DHCP/BOOTP, and BOOTP
—
located under the web console screen’s IP configuration drop-down box.
