DHCP radio buttons

The

DHCP

On

radio button directs the MGP Pro to ignore any entered IP addresses and

to obtain its IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server (if the
network is DHCP capable).
The

DHCP

Off

radio button turns DHCP off. Contact the local system administrator for the

setting of this control.

IP Address field

The

IP

Address

field contains the IP address of the connected MGP Pro. This value is

encoded in the MGP Pro flash memory.
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields separated by dots
(periods). Each field can be numbered from

000

through

255

. Leading zeros, up to 3 digits

total per field, are optional. Values of

256

and above are invalid.

The factory-installed default address is

192.168.254.254

, but if this conflicts with other

equipment at your installation, you can change the IP address to any valid value.

NOTE: IP address changes can cause conflicts with other equipment. Only local

system administrators should change IP addresses.

Gateway IP Address field

The

Gateway

IP

Address

field identifies the address of the gateway to the mail server to be

used if the MGP Pro and the mail server are not on the same subnet.
The gateway IP address has the same validity rules as the system IP address.

Subnet Mask field

The

Subnet

Mask

field is used to determine whether the MGP Pro is on the same subnet as

the mail server when you are subnetting. For more information, see

Subnetting, a Primer

on page 110.

MAC Address field

The Media Access Control (MAC) Address consists of six hexadecimal character pairs
and is used to identify the processor hardware. This address is hard-coded in the unit and
cannot be changed.
