Caution
Network settings are advanced settings. Nokia recommends that these settings not be

If you change the network settings to incorrect values, and you are unable to correct the error,
reset the IP45 to its factory settings.
To reset the Nokia IP45 security platform to its factory default settings, choose Setup >
Firmware > Tools > Factory Settings. You can also press the

server in your IP45 before you connect the IP45 to the network.
To enable or disable the DHCP server

Choose Network from the main menu.
The Internet page opens.
2.
Click My Network.
The My Network page opens.
3.
To configure the DHCP server for LAN/DMZ settings, click Edit next to LAN/DMZ.
