Automatic Assignment (DHCP Server) - This setting
allows the Ethernet Converter to obtain its IP address
automatically from a DHCP server on the network.
Manual Assignment - This assigns the Ethernet
Converter a specific ("Static") IP address. If a Static IP
address is selected, you must enter a Subnet Mask as
well.
NOTES: To configure the Ethernet Converter in the future, a user must both know its IP
address, and, be on the same subnet. Be careful when changing the Ethernet Converter’s
IP address!
If changes to the Ethernet Converter’s IP address make it difficult for you to access the
web-based configuration utility, remember that you can use the Ethernet Converter
Management software to reconfigure or reset DHCP (see pages 8-9) or a Static IP
address. If the Ethernet Converter's IP address has reverted to the default 1.1.1.1, you
may manually configure your computer to an IP address on the same subnet, such as
1.1.1.2, allowing it to connect to the Ethernet Converter (see pages 11-12). Don't forget
to change your computer's IP address back when you've finished configuring the Ethernet
Converter.
The IP Address does not need to be in the range of the DHCP server's scope to
successfully pass DHCP requests to network clients behind the Ethernet Converter.
