Field Description
IPv4 DHCP Default =
Enabled
. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. If
DHCP is enabled, the encoder gets its IP Address, Subnet Mask,
and Gateway from the DHCP server. If the DHCP server
supplies the DNS server address, these parameters will replace
the user-entered DNS settings. If DHCP is enabled and the
encoder cannot obtain an IP address from the server, it will start
in limited run mode after 90 seconds, using its default IP Address
of
172.17.5.5
. After 15 minutes, it will automatically reset and
again attempt to acquire an address. The LCD screen on the front
of the encoder will indicate a DHCP failed message. Note: The
VBrick encoder requires a minimum DHCP lease length of 8
minutes to work, however it is recommended to extend the lease
time to what is maximally available via the network to avoid
disruptions.
IPv4 Address This is either a static or a DHCP-enabled IPv4 IP address.
IPv4 Subnet Mask Subnet mask for the encoder address.
IPv4 Gateway Address Gateway IP Address for communicating across different network
segments.
