VPort D361
System Configuration
4-8
Access Method
The VPort products support the DHCP protocol, which means that the VPort can get its IP address from a DHCP
server automatically when it is connected to the TCP/IP network. The Administrator should determine if it is
more appropriate to use DHCP, or assign a fixed IP.
Setting
Description
Default
DHCP
The VPort gets the IP address automatically from the DHCP
server.
Get IP address
automatically
Use fixed IP address
Uses the IP address assigned by the Administrator.
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.
