IP configuration
The Model 2285 requires a valid IP address to operate within the user’s network environment. If the IP
address is not readily available, contact the system administrator to obtain a valid IP address for the Model
2285.
Note
The Model 2285 requires a unique IP address to connect to the user’s net-
work.
The users may choose one of three Internet protocols in setting up the Model 2285 IP address: i.e.,
•
Static IP
•
DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
The Model 2285 is initially defaulted to STATIC mode, with a static IP address of 192.168.161.5.
Table 3
shows the configuration parameters for all three IP configurations.
Figure 7
shows the actual web-based GUI to
change the user’s IP configuration.

Using a Static IP Address
When using a Static IP address, the user must manually specify all the configuration parameters associated with
the IP address of the Model 2285. These include the IP address, the network subnet mask, the gateway com-
puter and the domain name server computers. This section will look at each of these in more detail.
Note
The Model 2285 will attempt to locate all this information every time it is
turned on.
