Explanation
Network Setup Mode (Mode)
The following TCP/IP settings are configured automatically when you set the mode to Auto.
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
DHCP
DHCP is a protocol that temporarily allocates necessary information to a computer so that it can
connect to the Internet.
The DL6000/DLM6000 can only use DHCP if there is a DHCP server on the network. Ask your network
administrator whether or not DHCP is available.
The following information is assigned automatically when you set the network setup mode to Auto.
• IP
address
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
• DNS
• WINS
• Domain name
When you set the network setup mode to Auto, different information may be assigned to the DL6000/
DLM6000 each time it is turned on or bound to a server. When you connect a PC to the DL6000/
DLM6000, you must check the IP address and other network settings on the PC each time you turn
the DL6000/DLM6000 on or bind it to a server.
IP Address (IP Address)
You can set the IP address assigned to the DL6000/DLM6000. The default setting is 0.0.0.0.
The IP address is an ID that is assigned to each device on an IP network (the Internet or an intranet).
The ID is a 32-bit value that is expressed using four octets. Each octet is separated by a period and
has a value from 0 to 255, as in “192.168.111.24.”
Obtain an IP address from your network administrator. In a network that supports DHCP, this
parameter can be set automatically.
Subnet Mask (Net Mask)
You can set the mask value used to determine the subnet network address from the IP address. The
default setting is 0.0.0.0.
Huge TCP/IP networks such as the Internet are often divided up into smaller networks called
subnetworks. The subnet mask is a 32-bit value that specifies the number of bits of the IP address
that are used to identify the network address. The remaining portion of the network address is the host
address that identifies individual computers on the network.
Consult your network administrator for the subnet mask value. In a network that supports DHCP, this
parameter can be set automatically.
Default Gateway (Gate Way)
You can set the IP address of the default gateway (which is a gateway used to communicate with other
networks). The default setting is 0.0.0.0.
The default gateway handles data exchange between multiple networks so that data transmission
proceeds smoothly.
Consult your network administrator for the default gateway value. In a network that supports DHCP,
this parameter can be set automatically.
