Static IP Address Fields

Label

Description

Use DHCP

Select Yes to dynamically obtain an IP address at boot up or select No to use the
configured static IP address.

IP Address

The internet protocol address (IP Address) to assign. Obtain this from your network
administrator. Pearl devices support IPv4 addresses. They do not support IPv6
addresses.

Network Mask

Also called the subnet mask, this value denotes a range of IP addresses. Obtain this
from your network administrator, from another computer on the same subnet, or
calculate the value using an online subnet calculator.

Default gateway

The network node that serves as an access point to the rest of the network. This value
cannot be blank unless you are using DCHP. Specify the system’s IP address if you
don’t have a default gateway on your network.

DNS Server

The domain name system server (DNS server) translates human-readable hostnames
into corresponding IP addresses. Specify the system’s IP address if you don’t have a
DNS server on your network. This value cannot be blank unless you are using DHCP.

MTU Size

The maximum transmission unit (MTU) specifies the maximum packet size for transfer
on the network. The default value is 1500, which is the largest value allowed by Ethernet
at the network layer. It’s best for all nodes in your network to use the same value. Only
change the MTU value if you know that other nodes use a different value.

The default gateway and DNS Server fields cannot be left blank. If you do not have a default
gateway or a DNS server for your network, enter the static IP address in those fields.
