Chapter 4. Using the Serial Port Interface

Ethernet Configuration
The NAStape is shipped with DHCP enabled and a preset hostname based on the serial
number of the board. The Ethernet port is assigned a default hostname of
SL-0000<serial number>-0, where <serial number> is the serial number of the NAStape,
located on the rear panel of the NAStape. This hostname may be changed using the
Ethernet Configuration Menu.
Before attaching the NAStape to your network, these values should be set as
appropriate for your site.

Select to enable DHCP. When DHCP is enabled, the hostname is used as
part of the system identification. If DHCP is disabled, you must provide a static
IP address.
Note:
If DHCP is used, the IP address should never expire. The DHCP
servers should be configured to supply an IP address that will
never change.
