Network Configuration
Wired DHCP Configuration
In a wired DHCP configuration, vessel computers connect to the ICM
via Ethernet cables and receive IP addresses from the ICM. This is the
system’s default configuration.
Figure 6-1 Wired DHCP Configuration (Example)
To configure a wired DHCP network connection, follow these steps:
1.
Connect your computers and other network devices to any of
the four “User Ethernet” ports on the rear panel of the ICM.
NOTE: Use straight-through 100 Mbps fast Ethernet UTP CAT5 cables (or
better) with RJ45 connectors.
2.
Make sure the computers are configured for DHCP addressing
(see
“Configuring Computers for DHCP” on page 55
).
