NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings
6-3
Ethernet Settings
On the Ethernet Settings page in the Network Settings folder, you can modify IP configuration, IP
address, Netmask, and Gateway.
You must assign a valid IP address to the NPort before it will work in your network environment. Your network
system administrator should provide you with an IP address and related settings for your network. The IP
address must be unique within the network; otherwise the NPort will not have a valid connection to the network.
First-time users should refer to Chapter 3, “Initial IP Address Configuration,” for more information.
IP Configuration
Default Static
Options Static, DHCP, DHCP/BOOTP, BOOTP
Description This field determines how the NPort’s IP address will be assigned.
Static: IP address, netmask, and gateway are user-defined.
DHCP: IP address, netmask, gateway, DNS, and time server are assigned by DHCP server.
DHCP/BOOTP: IP address, netmask, gateway, DNS, and time server are assigned by DHCP
server. IP address is assigned by BOOTP server if DHCP server does not respond.
BOOTP: IP address is assigned by BOOTP server.
IP Address
Default 192.168.126.254
Options IP address (e.g., “192.168.1.1”)
Description This field is for the IP address that will be assigned to your NPort device server. An IP address
is a number assigned to a network device (such as
a computer) as a permanent address on
the network. Computers use the IP address to identify and talk to each other over the
network. Choose a proper IP address that is unique and valid in your network environment.
If your device server will be assigned a dynamic IP address, set the “IP configuration”
parameter appropriately.
