o
Fixed IP address:
In most installations the fixed IP address is required. The IP addresses are usually defined by the
system administrator. The IP address should be within a valid access, it should be unique for your net and in the same
subnet as your PC. Before setting the interface the following data are required:
IP address:
___.___.___.___
Subnet mask:
___.___.___.___
Gateway: ___.___.___.___
o
DHCP:
Automatic method of assigning IP addresses, i.e. DHCP, is used by many nets. If you are not sure whether
DHPC is used by your net, check it at your system administrator. At the first connection, the interface searches for a
DHPC server. The net can be checked for your device IP address, assigned by the DHCP server, with the DeviceInstaller
program. It can then be added to the list of devices on the net.
