SMART IP EXTENDER

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, IP Extender 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 IP Extender to your local sub- net, complete the corresponding configuration of your DHCP server.

BOOTP - When selected, IP Extender 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 IP Extender 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 IP Extender 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. IP Extender will synchronize its own absolute time with the timeserver's one. This is important for writing log entries and for the Dynamic DNS Service.

Secondary Time Server

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