7:Setup Mode: Server Configuration
This chapter explains how to configure the network settings.
Note: Current values display in parentheses.
Server Configuration (Option 0)
The unit’s basic network parameters display when you select Server configuration (option 0). The IP Address, Set Gateway IP Address, and Netmask fields display the current values.
Figure 7-1 Network Settings
IP Address : (000) .(000) .(000) .(000)
Set Gateway IP Address (N) ?
Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part (0=default) (0)
Set DNS Server IP addr (N) ?
Change Telnet/Web Manager password (N) ?
Change DHCP device name (not set) ? (N) ?
Enable DHCP FQDN option : (N) ?
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 xDirect to disable AutoIP, DHCP, or BootP. To disable an option, set the appropriate bit.
Table 7-2 BootP/DHCP/AutoIP options
Options | Bit | Value |
AutoIP | 0 | 1 |
DHCP | 1 | 2 |
BootP | 2 | 4 |

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.
