3.1 IP Address
An IP address is an identifier for computers or devices on a TCP/IP network. Make sure
that the IP address you assign is not in use by any other device on your network. IP
addresses are made up of four numbers from 0 to 255, separated by periods.

OTE
: You can determine the IP address of your unit through the System Settings menu, if
it is a dynamically allocated (DHCP) IP Address, or a Static IP Address. Please refer to
6.4: Display System Status for further information.
3.1.1 DHCP - Dynamic IP Address
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows you to dynamically allocate IP
addresses to devices on a TCP/IP network.

: For further help, please refer to our DHCP Administrator Help Guide at
http://www.iPocket232.com/products/documentation.html.
iPocket232s come configured with the IP address and subnet mask set at 0.0.0.0, which
automatically enables DHCP.
N
OTE
: The DHCP server must be on the same physical subnet as the iPocket232.
To enable DHCP configuration:
1 Choose Ethernet Settings from the Device Settings menu. (If the IP Address and
Subnet Mask are both 0.0.0.0, then DHCP is already enabled.)
2 Choose IP Address from the Ethernet Settings sub-menu.
3 Type 0.0.0.0 at the prompt and press Enter.
4 Choose Subnet Mask from the Ethernet Settings sub-menu.
5 Type 0.0.0.0 at the prompt and press Enter.
The unit should automatically obtain the Ethernet Settings from the DHCP server.
N
OTE
: The settings obtained from the DHCP server may change if the unit is reset, since
they will be lost and re-negotiated.
