Figure 5.3.2. Subsection dedicated to the time synchronization in case of mode “Disabled” and mode
“Network (NTP)”.
5.3.3. LAN
In this subsection, the settings for the Ethernet port (interface for wired connection) are shown.
Mode is as follows:
DHCP means that the SB will try to get an IP address by sending DHCP requests. Select
this option if you connect the SB to a network with a DHCP server. For example, your
company network, or any network with a router. All settings for the LAN connection are
made by the DHCP server and no further configuration is needed.
If this network provides Internet access, the SB will be connected to Internet. You can check
that with the ping button (see Section 5.3.10).
If the SB fails to receive a reply of the DHCP request, the settings for the Static
configuration are used if the case Fallback to static IP if DHCP fails is checked.
Static means that the SB will use the static IP address provided below. You should select
this option if:
you plug the SB directly to your computer. You also need to configure your computer
accordingly, i.e. assign a different IP address from the same range and the same netmask.
you plug the SB to a network without DHCP server.
In static mode, you must configure all the parameters manually - to do so you will probably
need the assistance of your IT support.
If you plugged the SB directly to your computer, only the IP address is relevant. If you
plugged it to a network, you must fill all the parameters if you want the SB to be able to
reach Internet.
The most important setting is the IP address that you want to give to the SB. It should be a
private address within one of the following ranges:
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
