Eos Configuration Utility 293
(Eos) IP Settings
If DHCP is selected, the “in use” IP
address information is displayed.
These are the settings that determine the method to get an IP address
and/or the actual IP address information that Eos uses for network
communication.
Enable DHCP
Clicking in the enable box will set Eos to get its IP address dynamically
from a DHCP server. While the console is starting, it will ask for an IP
address from a DHCP server. If one responds, it will use the assigned IP address.
If no DHCP server is available, Eos will default to a self-generated link-local IP address in the range
of 169.254.x.y. The IP address used by Eos in this configuration may change dynamically as
needed. A change should typically only occur when there are changes to the network configuration
or to resolve an IP address conflict.
Enabling or disabling the DHCP setting will require you to reboot Eos for the new setting to take
affect.
IP Address
If DHCP is disabled, you set the Eos IP address here. This is a static IP address and will remain set
until changed by a user.
If DHCP is enabled, this field will display the IP address that is being used by the console (whether
it is served via DHCP or a self-generated link-local IP address).
Subnet Mask
If DHCP is disabled, you set the Eos subnet mask here. This is a static setting and will remain set
until changed by a user.
If DHCP is enabled, this field will display the subnet mask that is being used by the console
(whether it is served via DHCP or a self-generated link-local IP address).
Gateway
If DHCP is disabled, you set the Eos gateway IP address here. This is a static gateway IP address
and will remain set until changed by a user.
If DHCP is enabled, this field will display the gateway IP address that is being used by the console
(whether it is served via DHCP or a self-generated link-local IP address).
N o t e : You cannot set Eos to receive an IP address via DHCP and act as a DHCP server
at the same time. It can either send dynamic addresses or receive them, but not
both at the same time.
