LABEL DESCRIPTION
Obtain an IP
Address
Automatically
Click this to deploy the PLA as a DHCP client in the network.
When you enable this, the PLA gets its IP address from the network’s DHCP server (for
example, your ISP or router). Users connected to the PLA can now access the network (i.e.,
the Internet if the IP address is given by the ISP or a router with Internet access).
The Web Configurator may no longer be accessible unless you know the IP address assigned
by the DHCP server to the PLA. Otherwise, you need to reset the PLA to be able to access
the Web Configurator again (see Section 11.7 on page 60 for details on how to reset the
PLA).
Also when you select this, you cannot enter an IP address for your PLA in the field below.
Static IP Address Click this if you want to specify the IP address of your PLA. Or if your ISP or network
administrator gave you a static IP address to access the network or the Internet.
IP Address Type the IP address in dotted decimal notation. The default setting is 192.168.1.2. If you
change the IP address you will have to log in again with the new IP address.
Subnet Mask The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address.
Gateway IP Address Enter a gateway IP address (if your ISP or network administrator gave you one) in this field.
DNS Server
First DNS Server
Second DNS Server
Select Obtained From ISP if your ISP or router to which the PLA connects dynamically assigns
DNS server information (and the PLA's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the
(read-only) DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS server's IP
address in the field to the right.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not configure a DNS
server, you must know the IP address of a computer in order to access it.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the PLA.
Cancel Click Cancel to reload the previous configuration for this screen.
