Figure 3-14. IP Configuration Menu
When static IP addressing is used, the user must manually configure the
IP address and other parameters. When dynamic addressing is used, the
radio uses a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client pro-
cess to obtain an IP address from a DHCP Server, along with other
parameters such as a net mask and a default gateway.
CAUTION:Changes to any of the following parameters while commu-
nicating over the network (LAN or over-the-air) may cause a
loss of communication with the unit being configured.
Communication will need to be re-established using the new
IP address.
• IP Address Mode—Defines how the IP address of this device is
obtained: either statically configured, or dynamically assigned
from a DHCP server. [
Static, Dynamic; Static]
•
Static IP Address—(We recommend that you review this setting.)
Essential for connectivity to the transceiver MS via the LAN
port and to encapsulate serial data over an IP. Enter any valid IP
address that will be unique within the network. [192.168.1.1]
This field is unnecessary if DHCP is enabled.
•
Static IP Netmask—The IPv4 local subnet mask. This field is
unnecessary if DHCP is enabled. [
255.255.0.0]
• Static IP Gateway—The IPv4 address of the network gateway
device, typically a router. This field is unnecessary if DHCP is
enabled, or if all devices are on the same subnet. [
0.0.0.0]
• Current IP Address—(We recommend that you review this set-
ting.) Displays the IP address.
•
Current IP Netmask—Displays the IPv4 local subnet mask.
