5: Changing the UBox's Settings

 

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: Zeroconfig (also called Zeroconf) is a networking

 

protocol that allows computers to find each other

 

automatically without the need for you to enter IP

 

addresses, configure DNS servers, or set up DHCP.

 

Computers using Zeroconfig can only communicate with

 

each other when they are on the same Ethernet segment

 

(all Zeroconfig computers are connected to the same

 

Ethernet hub).

 

You can get more information about ZeroConf at

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

 

always to use the same network settings. The UBox shows

 

its current network configuration in the IP Address,

 

Subnet Mask, and Gateway fields. You can only enter

 

data in these fields if you select Use Static IP.

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.

 

 

Subnet Mask

A subnet mask defines the number of bits taken from the

 

IP address that are assigned for the host part. Enter the

 

subnet mask as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

 

Example: 255.255.255.0

 

 

Gateway

The gateway address, or router, allows communication to

 

other LAN segments. The gateway address should be the

 

IP address of the router connected to the same LAN

 

segment as the unit. The gateway address must be within

 

the local network. Enter the gateway as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

 

Example: 192.168.20.100.

 

Note: If there is no gateway on the network, use the same

 

IP address as the UBox or the IP address of your PC.
