MN-DM240XR– Revision 13 B–1
Appendix B. TCP/IP Ethernet Setup
B.1 Introduction
The DM240XR supports SNMP, FTP protocols and the Web Browser. Utilization of the
protocols is dependent upon proper set up of the TCP-IP menus. This document is to be used
only as a guideline for setting up the TCP-IP menus. Contact the IT manager for proper guidance
to ensure setup is successful. For additional information on the various WEB or SNMP
configurations and descriptions refer to Section 8 and 10.
B.2 TCP/IP Network Configuration
Using the Front Panel display and arrow keys, scroll thru the System menu until the TCP / IP sub
menu is displayed. Each unit requires proper configuration with the correct network settings.
Contact the IT manager for a valid IP address mask, Modem, server and router IP addresses.
Enter into the TCP / IP menu and the following Sub menus will appear, however the order may
vary.
1. Boot Mode
: This allows for the selection of the operating boot mode for the TCP / IP.
Several selections are available and are described below. When configuring the modem for
Web Browser, Boot Mode must be set to “NON-VOL”. A brief description of the available
selections are:
a. Default : If the Ethernet interface is not to be used, select this mode. No IP Address or
mask changes will be allowed while in this mode of operation. The following parameters
will be set and will not change until the boot mode is changed. The IP addresses are non
accessible addresses:
 IP MASK 255.000.000.000
 MODEM IP ADDR 010.000.000.001
 SERVER IP ADDR 010.001.001.001
 ROUTER IP ADDR 010.000.001.001
b. BOOTp: When enabled, at boot time, the modem will use the Bootp Protocol to
automatically get names, masks, and IP Addresses of the modem, router, and server from
the Network Manager. This should be consistent with the tag expected by the users
Bootp Server (see the next menu selection for setting the BOOTp TAG). If Bootp is not
enabled, the modem will ignore the BOOTp Tag setting.
