Using Set Device IP
To reduce the effort required to set up IP addresses, the TN-5500 comes equipped with
DHCP/BootP server and RARP protocol to set up IP addresses of Ethernet-enabled devices
automatically.
When enabled, the Set device IP function allows TN-5500 to assign specific IP addresses
automatically to connected devices that are equipped with DHCP Client or RARP protocol. In
effect, TN-5500 acts as a DHCP server by assigning a connected device with a specific IP address
stored in its internal memory. Each time the connected device is switched on or rebooted,
TN-5500 sends the device the desired IP address.
Take the following steps to use the Set device IP function:
STEP 1—Set up the connected devices
Set up those Ethernet-enabled devices connected to
TN-5500 for which you would like IP addresses to be
assigned automatically. The devices must be
configured to obtain their IP address automatically.
The devices’ configuration utility should include a
setup page that allows you to choose an option
similar to Obtain an IP address automatically.
For example, Windows’ TCP/IP Properties window
is shown at the right. Although your device’s
configuration utility may look quite a bit different,
this figure should give you some idea of what to look
for.
You also need to decide which of TN-5500’s ports
your Ethernet-enabled devices will be connected to.
You will need to set up each of these ports separately,
as described in the following step.
STEP 2
Configure TN-5500’s Set device IP function, either from the Console utility or from the Web
Browser interface. In either case, you simply need to enter the Desired IP for each port that needs
to be configured.
STEP 3
Be sure to activate your settings before exiting.
• When using the Web Browser interface, activate by clicking on the Activate button.
• When using the Console utility, activate by first highlighting the Activate menu option, and
then press Enter. You should receive the Set device IP settings are now active! (Press any
key to continue) message.
