Configuring Network Settings
To configure network settings, access the administrator preferences as described in
”Advanced Configuration” on page 5, or access these preferences from a web browser as
described in ”Configuration from a Web Browser” on page 6. From the Communications :
Network menu, you can establish DHCP or Static IP network settings.
Note: If you change IP settings, the system may automatically restart.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is used to dynamically allocate and assign IP
addresses. DHCP allows you to move network devices from one subnet to another without
administrative attention. You can choose to enable DHCP if a DHCP server is present. If you
disable DHCP, you must identify an IP address (the locally configured IP address if not
assigned by a DHCP server), subnet mask (used to partition the IP address into a network
and host identifier), and gateway (IP address of the default gateway the system uses).
You can also define the hostname of the system and identify the IP addresses to configure
DNS servers.
As well, you can define the domain names to search when resolving hostnames. Domain
Name System (DNS) is used for translating names of network nodes into addresses; specify
this preference to use DNS to resolve the hostnames of devices to IP addresses.
