Enable/Disable Dynamic Assignment of IP Address
Network attached devices must contain a unique network identifier. If the network is
using TCP/IP as a communication protocol, these identifiers are called “IP addresses”.
The following series of screens will allow you to choose from two different methods of
assigning IP addresses.
Select the method of providing IP addresses
If your network provides DHCP service, and you want it to provide the terminals IP
address, leave the first option selected. The unit can get its IP address though a DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) service by default (provided the DHCP service
is available and the unit is properly connected to the network). The DHCP will
automatically assign an IP Address, which is drawn from a pool of available IP addresses,
when a unit is powered on and a request is broadcast over the network.
If you would rather specify a static IP address for the terminal, select the second option.
This option is selected automatically if your network does not provide a DHCP service,
or if the unit is not properly connected to the network. If your network does not provide
DHCP, leave the second option selected.
Select the appropriate method. Click Next.
Note: If your network does not provide a DHCP service, but you get the screen shown
above, make sure the unit is properly connected to the network, then restart it
by cycling the power off and then on.
