Basic Network Configuration
The “Basic Network” menu option allows the LAN IP, subnet mask and Gateway IP to
be set as either static IPs on the network or configured automatically by a DHCP
server.
Basic Network: Local Area Network
3.2.4.1
LAN Configuration example from the Host/AP (Default Configuration):
LAN Mode:
This can be set to either DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) or
Static to allow the LAN IP, subnet mask and Gateway IP to be set as either static IPs
on the network or configured automatically.
If
Static
is selected enter the LAN IP, Netmask and Gateway IP using an available IP
on the network. KBC Networks recommends obtaining valid unused IPs from the
network administrator if the units will reside on the network. The WESII units can
connect independently from the network structure and are not required to be
configured as static IPs within the network subnet.
If
DHCP
is selected the LAN configuration will be set dynamically according to the
network availability. When DHCP is selected, the IP Address, Netmask and Gateway
IP configuration area will be grayed out to prohibit custom LAN settings being
entered as they will be obtained through the network. Once DHCP is saved an IP
searching tool will be required to determine the WESII unit IP address. A locator tool
which shows the Hostname can be used to distinguish the IP from other IP
addresses on the network.
