VPort 25 User’s Manual
System Configuration
4-10
Access Method
VPort products support the DHCP protocol, which means that VPort can get its IP address from a
DHCP server automatically when it is connected to a TCP/IP network. The Administrator should
determine if it is more appropriate to use DHCP, or assign a fixed IP.
Setting
Description
Default
Get IP address
automatically
VPort gets the IP address automatically
from the DHCP server.
Use fixed IP address
Use the IP address assigned by the
administrator.
Get IP address automatically
NOTE
We strongly recommend that the administrator assign a fixed IP address to the VPort, since all of
the functions and applications provided by the VPort are active when the VPort is connected to
the network. Use DHCP to determine if the VPort’s IP address may change when then network
environment changes, or the IP address is occupied by other clients.
