The simplest way to set the IP address for your initial connection is to use the
thumbwheel switches on the front of the adapter.
The three thumbwheel switches represent the final octet for the private IP
address 192.168.1.xxx (where xxx represents the number set on the switches).
The factory default switch setting is 999. Use the buttons above and below each
number to select a temporary IP address to use. Choose a number between 001
and 254, taking care not to duplicate the IP address of any other device on the
network.
NOTE: Settings 777 and 888 are reserved and used for special functions. For details, see
Restoring All Factory Default Settings (page 101).
If you set the switches to an invalid number (that is, 000 or a value greater than
254), the adapter checks to see if you enabled DHCP, according to the following
table.
If DHCP is Then the adapter
Enabled Asks for an address from a DHCP server. The DHCP server also
assigns other Transport Control Protocol (TCP) parameters.
Not enabled Uses the IP address (along with other TCP configurable parameters)
stored in nonvolatile memory
The updated IP address setting will take effect when the adapter is powered up.
Use DHCP Software to Configure Your Adapter
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) software automatically assigns IP
addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network.
DHCP is based on BootP and maintains some backward compatibility. The main
difference is that BootP was designed for manual configuration, while DHCP
allows for dynamic allocation of network addresses and configurations to newly
attached devices.
