Configuring IP Host Parameters
You may manage RICi-E3, RICi-T3 using a network management station on the
LAN that is connected to RICi-E3, RICi-T3. In order to establish a proper
connection, you have to configure the host IP address, the subnet mask and the
default gateway. It is also possible to automatically receive these host IP
parameters via the DHCP client when starting the unit.

server, when the unit is connected to the network. The DHCP client can be
enabled or disabled. RICi-E3, RICi-T3 ships with the DHCP disabled by default.
You have to configure the DHCP client via an ASCII terminal or an SNMP manager
such as RADview. This option is masked for Telnet and ConfiguRAD sessions.
