DESCRIPTION
Obtain an IP Address
Automatically
When you enable this, the EMG2926-Q10A gets its IP address from the network’s
DHCP server (for example, your ISP). Users connected to the EMG2926-Q10A can
now access the network (i.e., the Internet if the IP address is given by the ISP).
The Web Configurator may no longer be accessible unless you know the IP address
assigned by the DHCP server to the EMG2926-Q10A. You need to reset the
EMG2926-Q10A to be able to access the Web Configurator again (see
Section 24.7
on page 169
for details on how to reset the EMG2926-Q10A).
Also when you select this, you cannot enter an IP address for your EMG2926-Q10A
in the field below.
Static IP Address
Click this if you want to specify the IP address of your EMG2926-Q10A. 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. Your
EMG2926-Q10A will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP
address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet
mask computed by the EMG2926-Q10A.
Gateway IP Address
Enter a
Gateway IP Address
(if your ISP or network administrator gave you one)
in this field.
