Configuring Network Settings with BootP

The BootP network setting is enabled by default. When a BootP server is set up with the correct information, the network settings (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and SMTP Mail Server IP Address) automatically configure.

Ask your Network Administrator whether a BootP server has been set up on your network. If it has, and your Network Administrator has allocated the required network settings on the BootP server, then all of the network settings (that your facility requires) automatically appear on the Network Setup screen.
