2. Select Obtain IP address automatically.
3. Update the following:
Network Mode For the XPress device server, Wired Only is the only choice. It enables the
Ethernet network connectivity.
BOOTP Select Enable to permit the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) server to assign the IP
address from a pool of addresses automatically. Enable is the default.
DHCP Select Enable to permit the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to
assign a leased IP address to the XPress unit automatically. Enable is the default.
AutoIP Select Enable to permit the Automatic Private IP Addressing (AutoIP) to generate
an IP in the 169.254.x.x address range for the XPress unit automatically within the
a Class B subnet. Enable is the default.
DHCP Host Name
Enter the name of the host on the network providing the IP address.
Note: Disabling BOOTP, DHCP, and AutoIP (all three checkboxes) is not advised as the only
available IP assignment method will then be ARP or serial port.
