Setting up DHCP over interface card interfaces
Interface cards use three different interfaces which can be used to enable DHCP: Serial, Telnet, and VM. The following will describe how to enable and disable DHCP for each interface.
NOTE: Located on the interface card is a label that displays the unit’s Ethernet MAC Address. A network administrator can then use this MAC Address to set up a lease reservation on the DHCP server for the IP address of the interface card. This effectively allows the interface card to have a permanent IP address that is assigned by the DHCP server.
Serial and Telnet interfaces
When the user turns on the library, and thus the interface card, the system reboots and displays the following Main menu on the terminal window:
