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

The settings described below begin

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
