On this page you can modify the basic settings for the box.
•

DHCP server must be set to (“Enable”) if you want the box to allocate IP addresses
to connected computers.
If the box is on a network that already has a DHCP server (e.g. a router), the box’s
DHCP server must be disabled. Select “Disable” and click “Apply” to do this.
•

pacity.
IP Config
On this page you can modify the settings for the box’s IP address.
•
Specify whether the box is automatically allocated an IP address or whether it will
have a static (permanent) IP address.
“Automatic IP” can be selected if the box’s own DHCP server is enabled, or if the
box is on a network that has a DHCP server, e.g. a router.
“Static IP as below” contains fields for entering the IP address, subnet mask, gate-
way and DNS servers if the box is part of a specific network configuration.
