The Configuration – Ethernet Port page contains the configuration
settings for the DCM's network interface.
The settings described below begin

DCM, there will be an Ethernet Port page for each one.
net.eth.0 : If you know the IP address the DCM is going to use over this
interface, you should set this option to
static and fill in the details
below. Alternatively, you can select
dhcp/bootp and have the DCM
automatically request an address over the network. If you choose the
dhcp/bootp option, you should ensure that a gateway computer exists
on your network that can receive these requests, and that the DNS
(nameserver) entry for the DCM is kept current. You can then ignore
the remaining settings on this page.
net.eth.0.address : If the above option is set to
static, you should fill in
the IP address of the interface in this box. Valid IP addresses consist of
four numbers between 0 and 255, separated by periods. If you intend
to attach the DCM to a private network, you should use an IP address
in one of the private ranges (10.
b.c.d; 172.16-31.c.d; 192.168.c.d) to
avoid clashing with addresses on the wider Internet.

net.eth.0 option is set to dhcp/bootp, this configuration setting
