IP settings

The following settings are available in the IP Settings section:

•Unit Name: The default is the product name followed by the last six digits of the MAC address. You can give the unit a new name (such as LightsOn&Off or BoardroomA-PC1) consisting of up to 24 alphanumeric characters including the hyphen (-).

NOTE: The first character must be an alpha character, and the last character cannot be a hyphen. The unit name is not case sensitive.

•DHCP: DHCP is a communications protocol that assigns addresses on the local network automatically. Select the On or Off radio button to enable or disable DHCP.

NOTE: When DHCP is set to On, all other IP settings are disabled except Unit Name.

•IP Address: You can enter a new network address, a 32-bit number consisting of four sets of 8-bit numbers, separated by periods (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn).

•Gateway IP Address: A gateway is a device that connects your network with others that may be outside your local area network. You can enter your gateway address (obtained from your network administrator), using the same format that is used for the IP address. (If there is no gateway, this field defaults to 0.0.0.0.)

•Subnet mask: The subnet mask is used to split IP networks into a series of subgroups (subnets). The mask is a binary pattern that is matched up with the IP address to turn part of the host ID address field into a field for subnets. You can enter a new subnet mask address using the same format that is used for the IP address.

To change the IP address settings:

1.In the IP Settings section, make entries or selections in the available fields as desired.

2.When finished making entries in this section, click Submit to implement them.

If you want to discard your entries without submitting them, click Cancel to restore the previous values (do not click Submit).
