■

If an IP address has been configured for the hub,

 

and it is not 0.0.0.0, the IP Setup dialog box is

 

displayed. If you have previously configured

 

address information for the hub but want to go

 

through the Easy Set-Up option again, you can

 

start it by clicking on the Easy Set-Upbutton.

 

If no previous IP information has been

 

configured for the hub or the IP address is

 

configured as 0.0.0.0, and the Enable IP box is

 

checked, the Easy Setup option is started. If you

 

want to enter information directly into the IP

 

Setup screen or abort the Easy Setup process,

 

select Abort.

 

The Easy Setup option asks you if you want to

 

manually configure the hub for IP. If you have a

 

BOOTP server (that automatically allocates IP

 

addresses) select No, otherwise select Yes.
