Other Networking Options
Each NA-1400 on the network requires an IP (Internet Protocol) address. If your NA-1400 has two or more
NICs (network interface cards), it can have multiple IP addresses. There are two methods to assign an IP
address to the NA-1400:
• Use a DHCP server to assign the IP address automatically.
• Specify a static IP address.
Note: See your network administrator before you modify these settings. It is
recommended that you give the NA-1400 a static IP address or a non-expiring
DHCP lease time.
Obtaining an IP Address from a DHCP Server
You can configure the NA-1400 to receive an IP address from a DHCP server, if one is attached to the
network.
