Assigning/Changing IP Parameters
3.2
DHCP mode
(factory default setting)
Many networks use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) for centralized and dynamic assignining of the
network parameters. As shipped and after a reset to the factory
default settings,
DHCP
mode is enabled, so that in network
environments with dynamic IP assigning all you need to do is
connect the device to the network. The following parameters
can be assigned using DHCP:
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Gateway address
• Lease time

After an unintended address assignment or address
change to an unknown address using DHCP protocol, the
management tool
WuTility
can be used to find the USB server
and uniquely identify it based on its MAC address. Changing the
wrong IP address or switching to
Static
mode while disabling
DHCP protocol can also be done using
WuTility.
3.2.1 Activating DHCP mode
DHCP protocol is activated by switching from
Static
mode to
DHCP
mode using WuTility or Web-Based Management of the
USB-Server. The previous static IP address is then deleted and
DHCP protocol is enabled. The USB-Server returns to its default
address 190.107.233.110 until new network parameters are
assigned using a DHCP server.
