IP Address

1Setting Method

Specifies a DHCP operation of the MCX-2000. When the MCX-2000 has a ‘wired’ connection to a PC network and finds a DHCP server there, it enters DHCP Client mode and gets an IP address from the server. (Accordingly, clients will also get an IP address from the same server.) If the MCX-2000 finds no DHCP server in the connected network, it automatically enters DHCP Server mode. (Clients will get an IP address from the MCX-2000.) Because of this scheme, you normally don’t need to change this setting as long as you want to automatically configure a series of network parameters. Select Manual if you really need them to set up manually.

nWhen you select Manual, you must assign each of the MCX-2000 and clients a unique IP address conforming to the connected PC network (page 23).

2IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway

When selecting DHCP Server or Manual for Setting Method, specify an IP address within the network address of the connected PC network. Among these three parameters, only IP Address takes a ‘unique’ value to the MCX-2000. Subnet Mask and Default Gateway should take the same values with a PC that’s manually configured to access the Internet via the connected network. Default Gateway normally takes an IP address set to the router LAN port (supposing the router WAN port is connected to a broadband modem).

3DNS Server (P), DNS Server (S)

When selecting DHCP Server or Manual for Setting Method, specify IP addresses of primary (P) and secondary (S) DNS servers provided from your Internet service provider. These values (at least one) are necessary if you use URL to specify an Internet resource (server) available to the MCX-2000, such as a public NTP server to get accurate date and time (page 91). If you specify such a resource using the IP address, you can leave these values blank.

When you complete necessary settings, select OK at the bottom of the screen. When the “Network rebooting...” message is shown and your settings are stored, you will return to the Advanced Settings menu.
