5: Changing the UBox's Settings

Figure 5-3. Network Tab

2. Update the following settings as desired:

IP Address

From the drop-down list, select one of the following

Assignment

methods of assigning an IP address:

 

Using Defaults: The UBox tries to get an IP address via

 

DHCP first. If it fails to obtain an IP address within 10

 

seconds, it assigns itself an IP address using Zeroconfig.

 

This is the recommended setting for most users.

 

Use DHCP: The UBox automatically obtains an address

 

using DHCP server. Select this setting if you only want to

 

use an IP address obtained using a DHCP server.

 

Use Zeroconfig: In this mode, the UBox assigns itself an

 

IP address using the Zeroconfig protocol. Zeroconfig is an

 

alternative to DHCP that allows hosts to obtain an IP

 

address automatically in smaller networks that may not

 

have a DHCP server. Zeroconfig IP addresses are in the

 

range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.1. Use this setting if the

 

UBox is in a network that only uses Zeroconfig IP

 

addresses.

 

Note: You can get more information about Zeroconfig (also

 

called Zeroconf) at http://www.zeroconf.org/

 

Use Static IP: Use this mode if you want your UBox

 

always to use the same network settings. You must enter

 

the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway for the UBox

 

to communicate with the network.

 

 

IP Address

The UBox must have a unique IP address on the network.

 

Enter the IP address as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

 

Example: 192.168.20.1

 

Note: The system administrator provides the IP address,

 

subnet mask, and gateway.
