Enabling and Disabling the DHCP Server
Nokia IP40 Security Platform has a built-in Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server that is enabled by default. This allows the IP40 to configure all the devices on your
network automatically.
If you have another DHCP server configured in your network, you must disable the DHCP
server in your IP40 before you connect the IP40 to the network.
To enable or disable the DHCP server
1.
Click Network in the main menu, and then choose My Network.
The My Network page appears.
2.
In the DHCP Servers drop-down list, select Enabled or Disabled.
3.
Click Apply.
4.
If you do not have another DHCP server in your network, and your computers were
originally configured differently, do the following:
„
Reconfigure all of the computers on your network.
„
Use DHCP to disable the Obtain IP address automatically setting in the TCP/IP settings.
Changing IP Addresses
You can change the IP address of your Nokia IP40 Security Platform. You can also change the
entire range of IP addresses in your network by using the IP40 Satellite X licenses. You might
want to do this if, for example, you are adding the IP40 to a large existing network and do not
want the network IP address range to change, or if you are using a DHCP server other than the
IP40, that assigns addresses within a different range.
