DHCP Server Configuration

If you use a DHCP server to distribute IP addresses and other network parameters, the server setup
should include the following:
• IP address pool (1 or 5 IP address per cradle)
• Router/gateway address
• One or more DNS server addresses
• One or more WINS server addresses
• Subnet mask.
To assign the initial cradle IP address, you can either use a DHCP server, as
shown above, or use the MobileDox Cradle Manager (see Installing
Note
MobileDox Cradle Manager on page 4-13). The DHCP server is the preferred
method.

Cradle Configuration

The MobileDox Cradle Manager allows you to setup the Device IP Address and modify cradle
settings. See Installing MobileDox Cradle Manager on page 4-13 for instructions to download and
install the software.
See Figure 8-7 on page 8-13
Setting the Device IP Address
By default, the cradle uses DHCP to obtain its IP address. However, if DHCP fails, the Cradle Manager
can assign an IP address.
This is used if the cradle is connected to the network, but fails to appear in
MobileDox. Enter the hardware device (MAC) address to locate the cradle
Note
and assign it a new IP address.
