ViewStation FX/VS4000 User Guide

Do not select the Server option if your ViewStation FX or VS4000 is
on a LAN with other computers. If you do, the ViewStation or
VS4000 provides IP addresses to the other computers on the LAN
even though the LAN already has a DHCP server. Your system
administrators may have to repair any network problems this
causes.
IP Address—If the DHCP Client option is selected, an IP
address is automatically assigned to the system from your
network server and you cannot make any change to this field. If
the DHCP Off option is select, you need to enter a static IP
address for your ViewStation or VS4000. The IP address can be
obtained from your network administrator or your IT
department.
DNS Servers—DNS servers are computers which translate
domain names (example: www.polycom.com) into IP
addresses.
If the DHCP Client option is selected, the DNS server addresses
are automatically filled in and you cannot make any change to
this field. If the DHCP Off option is selected, you need to enter
the DNS server addresses manually. These addresses can be
obtained from your network administrator or your IT
department.
Default Gateway—The default Gateway is a router on the local
network. Its main task it to act as an interpreter between two
systems that do not use the same communications protocol,
data formatting, and other network functions. The ViewStation
FX or VS4000 must go through this router to access destinations
outside of its network.
If the DHCP Client option is selected, the Default Gateway
address is automatically filled in and you cannot make any
change to this field. If the DHCP Off option is selected, you
need to enter the address manually. This information can be
obtained from your network administrator or your IT
department.
