Chapter 2 Configuring the WMIC for the First Time
Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address
Figure 2-2 Express Setup Page
Step 6
Enter the configuration settings you obtained from your system administrator. The configurable settings
include:
• System Name— The system name, while not an essential setting, helps identify the WMIC on your
network. The system name appears in the titles of the management system pages.
• Configuration Server Protocol—Click on the button that matches the network’s method of IP
address assignment.
– DHCP—IP addresses are automatically assigned by your network’s DHCP server.
– Static IP—The WMIC uses a static IP address that you enter in the IP address field.
• IP Address—Use this setting to assign or change the WMIC’s IP address. If DHCP is enabled for
your network, leave this field blank.
Note If the WMIC IP address changes while you are configuring the WMIC using the web-browser
interface or a Telnet session over the wired LAN, you lose your connection to the WMIC. If you
lose your connection, reconnect to the WMIC using its new IP address. Follow the steps in the
“Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address” section on page 2-12 if you need to start over.
• IP Subnet Mask—Enter the IP subnet mask provided by your network administrator so the IP
address can be recognized on the LAN. If DHCP is enabled, leave this field blank.
• Default Gateway—Enter the default gateway IP address provided by your network administrator.
If DHCP is enabled, leave this field blank.
