You must assign a valid IP address to NE-4100 Series before it will work in your network environment. Your network system administrator should provide you with an IP address and related settings for your network. The IP address must be unique within the network (otherwise, NE-4100 Series will not have a valid connection to the network). First time users can refer to Chapter 5, Initial IP address Configuration, for more information.

You can choose from four possible IP Configuration modes—Static, DHCP, DHCP/BOOTP, and BOOTP—located under the web console screen’s IP configuration drop-down box.

An IP address is a number assigned to a network device (such as a computer) as a permanent address on the network. Computers use the IP address to identify and talk to each other over the network. Choose a proper IP address which is unique and valid in your network environment.
