Parameter Description
Obtain IP address by If a DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) server is configured on your
local area network, the DHCP server can assign IP addresses
automatically.
If you prefer to assign a Static (Fixed) IP address, select
S
TATIC
, and
then enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway in the
Overall area of the Radio web configuration form.
Note: You must assign a static IP address If you are using the radio in
client mode.
IP Address If you are using a static IP address for this radio, enter an IP address
that will not interfere with any other devices on the network. Your
network administrator can provide a block of IP addresses you can use.
IP Subnet Mask Enter the Subnet Mask provided by your Network Administrator.
Gateway IP Address Enter the Default Gateway address provided by your Network
Administrator.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) is a service provided by a server
(typically a router or a firewall) on a local area network. Devices on a network
that supports DHCP can request and receive an IP address from the DHCP
server. RLXIB radios support DHCP; by default, they attempt to obtain an IP
address from a DHCP server.
If a DHCP server is not available, the radio will not be able to acquire an IP
address automatically, therefore you must assign an IP address, subnet mask
and default gateway to the radio so that it can communicate on the network.
You can also assign a Static (fixed or permanent) IP address to the radio to
make it easier to identify and configure the radio. Static IP addresses are
particularly useful when configuring radios to serve as Access Points, or for
radios that must be accessible through a firewall.
A detailed discussion of TCP/IP networking is beyond the scope of this manual.
