EDS-MD® Medical Device Server User Guide 39
BOOTP Client Select to turn On or Off. At boot up, after the physical link is up, the EDS-MD
device will attempt to obtain IPsettings from a BOOTP server.
Note: Overrides the configured IPaddress/mask, gateway, hostname, and
domain. When DHCP is Enabled, the system automatically uses DHCP,
regardless of whether BOOTP is Enabled. Changing this value requires you to
reboot the device.
DHCP Client Select to turn On or Off. At boot up, after the physical link is up, the EDS-MD 4/8/
16 unit will attempt to obtain IPsettings from a DHCP server and will periodically
renew these settings with the server.
Note: Overrides BOOTP, the configured IP address/mask, gateway, hostname,
and domain. Changing this value requires you to reboot the device.
Note: Within Web Manager, click Renew to renew the DHCP lease.
IP Address Enter the static IP address to use for the interface. You may enter it alone or in
CIDR format.
Note: This setting will be used if Static IP is active (both DHCP and BOOTP are
Disabled). Changing this value requires you to reboot the device. When DHCP or
BOOTP is enabled, the EDS-MD 4/8/16 device tries to obtain an IPaddress from a
DHCP or BOOTP server. If it cannot, the EDS-MD 4/8/16 unit generates and uses
an Auto IP address in the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx, with a network mask of
255.255.0.0.
Default Gateway Enter the IP address of the router for this network.
Note: This setting will be used if Static IP is active (both DHCP and BOOTP are
Disabled).
Hostname Enter the hostname for the interface. It must begin with a letter or number, continue
with a sequence of letters, numbers, or hyphens, and end with a letter or number.
This setting will take effect immediately, but will not register the hostname with a
DNS server until the next reboot.
Domain Enter the domain name suffix for the interface.
Note: This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if
DHCP/BOOTP is active and no Domain Suffix was acquired from the server.
DHCP Client ID Enter the ID if the DHCP server requires a DHCP Client ID option. The DHCP
server’s lease table shows IP addresses and MAC addresses for devices. The
lease table shows the Client ID, in hexadecimal notation, instead of the EDS-MD 4/
8/16 device server MAC address.
Primary DNS Enter the IP address of the primary Domain Name Server.
Note: This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if
DHCP/BOOTP is active and no DNS server was acquired from the server.
Secondary DNS Enter the IP address of the secondary Domain Name Server.
Note: This setting will be used when either Static IP or Auto IP is active, or if
DHCP/BOOTP is active and no DNS server was acquired from the server.
MTU When DHCP is enabled, the MTU size is (usually) provided with the IP address.
When not provided by the DHCP server, or using a static configuration, this value
is used. The MTU size can be from 576 to 1500 bytes, the default being 1500
bytes.
