IP Address
Select the appropriate option:
•
Automatic
- The PC is set to be a DHCP client (Windows: "Ob-
tain an IP address automatically"). XRT-811 will allocate an IP
address to this PC when requested to do so. The IP address could
change, but normally won't.
•
DCHP Client - Reserved IP Address
- Select this if the PC is set
to be a DCHP client, and you wish to guarantee that XRT-811 will
always allocate the same IP Address to this PC.
Enter the required IP address. Only the last field is required; the
other fields must match XRT-811's IP address.
•
Fixed IP Address
- Select this if the PC is using a Fixed (Static)
IP address. Enter the IP address allocated to the PC. (The PC must
be configured to use this IP address.)
MAC Address
Select the appropriate option
•
Automatic discovery
- Select this to have XRT-811 contact the
PC and find its MAC address. This is only possible if the PC is
connected to the LAN and powered On.
•
MAC is
- Enter the MAC address on the PC. The MAC address is
also called the "Hardware Address", "Physical Address", or "Net-
work Adapter Address". XRT-811 uses this to provide a unique
identifier for each PC. Because of this, the MAC address can NOT
be left blank.
