IP Settings
The IP Settings section allows you to select between dynamic or static IP
addressing. The ES1A’s default setting is Obtain an IP address
automatically using DHCP, or dynamic IP addressing.
When the ES1A is first connected it will try to obtain an IP address automatically. If it fails, it
will assign an IP address to itself using the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)
protocol. You can re-configure the ES1A for static IP address by selecting Use the following
IP address and assign the IP address yourself.
If Use the following IP address: is selected, you are choosing static IP
addressing. When this option is selected the IP Address, Subnet Mask and
Default Gateway text boxes become available. You must determine the
appropriate parameters and enter them yourself. (If you do not know what to
enter ask your network administrator for assistance.)
To implement any changes in this section, click Apply. A page will appear
asking you to Reboot the ES1A so that the changes can take effect.
