Toshiba GA-1040 manual TCP/IP Setup

33-6 Setting up the GA-1040 from TopAccess

Ethernet

MAC Address—This is the MAC address of the Ethernet port; the information cannot be changed.

Transmission Speed—Select Auto if your network environment is mixed, or select the speed of the network to which the GA-1040 is attached.

TCP/IP Setup

To configure the GA-1040, choose each protocol and enter the settings for that protocol. You can enable AppleTalk, TCP/IP, and IPX/SPX communication simultaneously.

Enter the appropriate settings for the network type you use. If your network uses a gateway, enter the gateway address in the Gateway section.

When you set an IP address, subnet mask, or gateway address for the GA-1040 during Setup, you can allow the GA-1040 to get these addresses automatically from a DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server. First, turn on or reboot the GA-1040 and allow it to reach Idle. Next, make sure the DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server is running. Finally, perform GA-1040 Setup.

Ethernet

Enable Ethernet—Select this option if you have a TCP/IP network connected to the GA-1040 over Ethernet cabling.

Enable Auto IP—Select this option to allow the GA-1040 to obtain its Ethernet IP address by searching the network. Depending on your network and the protocol you select in the following option (DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP), the IP address can change. Deselect this option to assign the GA-1040 a static IP address, which will not change. Proceed to the IP Address option, where you manually set the IP address.

Select protocol—If you have enabled Auto IP, select the protocol over which the GA-1040 should search for its IP address. Both DHCP and BOOTP allow the GA-1040 to obtain the Ethernet IP address and Subnet Mask automatically. RARP obtains only the Ethernet IP address.
