“Channel Number is OK” or “Wrong Channel Number.”
IP Address Source Select the source of this machine's IP address. If Static is selected, you must
manually enter the IP address of the machine. If DHCP is selected, the BIOS searches
for a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server in the network it is
attached to, and requests the next available IP address. The options are DHCP and
Static. If DHCP is selected, the following items will display:
IP Address – Enter the IP address for this machine. This should be in decimal and
in dotted quad form. The value of each three-digit number separated by dots
should not exceed 255.
Subnet Mask – Subnet masks tell the network which subnet this machine
belongs to. The value of each three-digit number separated by dots should not
exceed 255.
Gateway Address – This is the IP address of the gateway in the network. This is
usually a router.
Mac Address – The BIOS will automatically enter the Mac address of this
machine; however it may be overridden. Mac addresses are 6 two-digit hexadeci-
mal numbers (Base 16, 0 – 9, A, B, C, D, E, F) separated by dots. (for example,
00.30.48.D0.D4.60).
