Buffalo Technology LINKSTATION HD-HLAN - Manual (Page 32)


Network - IP Address & Default Gateway
IP Address Settings: LinkStation operates
using the TCP/IP protocol. Thus, it must
have an IP Address to communicate on
a network. This IP Address is also used
to access the web-based configuration
menus. If LinkStation cannot obtain an IP
Address from a DHCP Server, LinkStation
will automatically use the IP Address
192.168.11.150, or you may enter an IP
address and subnet mask manually.
Contact your administrator to determine a
proper IP Address and Subnet mask for this
device. 255.255.255.0 is the recommended
default Subnet mask. Most users should
use DHCP unless they have a thorough understanding of their network.
Default Gateway Settings: By default LinkStation does not require a default gateway address.
If DHCP is enabled, then the Gateway will be set up automatically. If DHCP is not used, then
please contact your Network Admin for the proper Gateway information. Gateway setup is
required for some features to work properly (e.g. NTP, FTP, Remote Web-Based Configuration,
etc.)
