NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration

Network Settings
You must assign a valid IP address to the NPort 5100 before it will work in your network
environment. Your network system administrator should provide you with an IP address and
related settings for your network. The IP address must be unique within the network (otherwise,
the NPort 5100 will not have a valid connection to the network). First time users can refer to
Chapter 3, Initial IP Address Configuration, for more information.
You can choose from four possible IP Configuration modes—Static, DHCP, DHCP/BOOTP,
and BOOTP—located under the web console screen’s IP configuration drop-down box.

address on the network. Computers use the IP address to identify and talk to each other over the
network. Choose a proper IP address which is unique and valid in your network environment.
