Set the IP Address
An internet (IP) address is necessary for all internet and TCP/IP communications.
If DHCP is enabled, the Product uses the dynamic address supplied by the
DHCP server. If the DHCP server fails to supply the address, the Product IP
address shows as "0.0.0.0".
Select the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client-server protocol that
eliminates the manual set up of permanent/static IP addresses. The DHCP
server provides configuration parameters (dynamic IP address, subnet mask,
and default gateway IP addresses) that are necessary for a client to participate in
an IP network.
DHCP is the easiest way to configure the 5790B for remote communication
through the LAN interface. DHCP is enabled by default when the 5790B is
shipped from the factory. When you connect the Product to a network with the
LAN port enabled, the Product retrieves the parameters from a DHCP server
necessary for communications.
To disable or enable DHCP on the Product, from the Ethernet Setup menu, touch
DHCP. If DHCP is already enabled, the selection label shows ON.
To use DHCP addressing:
1. Connect a LAN cable from a hub to the LAN port on the back of the Product.
2. Touch Setup Menu>System Settings>Remote Port>Ethernet Setup to get
to the Ethernet Setup menu.
3. Select DHCP ON.
Use the Ethernet Setup menu to check the dynamic IP address assigned to
the Product.
Set a Static Internet Address
The Product comes from the factory with 169.254.001.001 in the static IP
address register.
Note
To use the Product on a corporate LAN without DHCP, contact the
network administrator for a static IP address to be used exclusively
by the Product. Disable DHCP to set a static IP address.
To change the Product static IP Address:
1. Do steps 1 and 2 from Select the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) and select DHCP OFF.
2. Touch IP Address.
3. Use the numeric keypad to enter the IP address and then push Done.
If you make a mistake when the IP address is entered, Cancel must be pushed.
Note
The IP address is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not
change when power is removed and reapplied to the Product or
when the Product receives a *RST command.
