Boot Options & Internet Addressing
Each Series 384X requires a unique internet address (IP address), allowing messages it sends
and receives to be correctly routed over networks conforming to the TCP/IP protocol
standards. These addresses can be administered and entered manually, or administered and
allocated by a server on the network.
By default, the Series 3800 uses NOBOOT (manual entry) to define the IP address. To set the
IP address, use the CFG24 utility described later in this chapter in the section Initializing the
Series 384X.
Two protocols are defined for the IP address allocation on the network: BOOTP and DHCP.
To allocate IP addresses through a BOOTP or DHCP server, you must change the boot option
in the configurator using the Boot Mode parameter.
