1. DHCP:
Use the "Select" key to select the "Yes" or "No" setting, depending on whether
or not a DHCP server is available.
2. IP address:
A unique IP address must be selected for each computer.
3. Subnet mask:
You need to enter a subnet mask that is unique within the entire network.
4. Gateway:
A gateway is not needed for a local area network.
Please ask your administrator for the settings of a company network.
5. Computer name:
The name is optional, as it is only a symbolic identifier and can be replaced by
the IP address at any time.
6. DNS:
If the DNS (Domain Name Server) has the appropriate assignment of computer
and IP address, no entry is required here.
MAC address: is unique (present on the NCU 710 after X130). If the NCU is
already known, it will be displayed automatically.
Use the "Save" softkey to save the parameter settings for the network connection.
