IP Address
If DHCP is not used to assign IP addresses, enter the IP address manually. The IP address must
be set to a unique value in the network. Enter each octet and press Enter between each section.
The current value displays in parentheses.
IP Address : (000) .(000) .(000) .(000)
If DHCP is used, the third octet of the IP address sets the BootP/DHCP/AutoIP options. The
following table shows the bits you can manually configure to force the XPress DR+ to disable
AutoIP, DHCP, or BootP. To disable an option, set the appropriate bit.

For example, if the third octet is 0.0.5.0, the AutoIP and BootP options are disabled; only DHCP is
enabled. (The value 5 results from adding the binary equivalents of 0 and 2.) This is the most
common setting when using DHCP.
Set Gateway IP Address
The gateway address, or router, allows communication to other LAN segments. The gateway
address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same LAN segment as the unit.
The gateway address must be within the local network. The default setting is
N
(No), meaning the
gateway address has not been set. To set the gateway address, type
Y
and enter the address.
Set Gateway IP Address (N) ? Y
