Minicom Advanced Systems DX User IP manual IP auto configuration, IP address, Subnet mask

DX USER IP

Warning! Changing the network settings of DX User IP may result in losing the connection. If you remotely change the settings ensure that all values will give you access to the DX User IP.

IP auto configuration

Choose between the 3 options.

None – no IP auto configuration. In this case type a static IP address in the appropriate settings below.

DHCP - When selected, DX User IP will contact a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server in the local sub-net to obtain a valid IP address, gateway address and net mask. Before you connect DX User IP to your local sub- net, complete the corresponding configuration of your DHCP server.

BOOTP - When selected, DX User IP will contact a BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) server in the local sub-net to obtain a valid IP address, gateway address and net mask.

IP address

Static IP address in the usual dot notation.

Subnet mask

The net mask of the local network.

Gateway IP address

In case the DX User IP should be accessible from networks other than the local one, this IP address must be set to the local network router's IP address.

Primary DNS Server IP address

IP address of the primary Domain Name Server. This may be left empty, however DX User IP won't be able to perform name resolution.

Secondary DNS Server IP address

This address will be used in case the Primary DNS Server can't be contacted.

Primary Time Server

IP address of the primary NTP (Network Time Protocol) compliant timeserver. DX User IP will synchronize its own absolute time with the timeserver's one. This is important for writing log entries and for the Dynamic DNS Service.
