One is terminal’s Local IP, the other one is Server’s IP. 3.1 Setting GS220 IP Address IP A DHCP S YNAMIC DDRESS FROM ERVER "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol” (DHCP) is an IP standard designed to reduce the complexity of administering IP address configurations.
Page 16 1. IP Address: Give GS220 an IP address of its own here. The easy way to do is to give it an IP address after adding 1 to the last number of IP address you gave to the Host PC. Then you can continue adding 2, 3...
Page 17 3. Gateway: Most often, this is the IP address of your Router. USER MANUAL FOR GIETEK GS220...
Page 18: Setting Server Ip Address
If the server is in the same subnet with the terminal, the terminal can search the network and find the server itself by set the server IP as “Search servers in LAN”. After save the settings, GS220 will go back to “Host List” page, and then display all available servers (with NetPoint2.2) installed in the LAN.
Page 19 You can setup the server using static IP address so that the terminal can logon the server directly after power on. For those Host servers that are not in the same subnet as GS220, you have to setup the IP address for the server in this way.
Page 20: Setting Screen Resolution
After save, the terminal will go to Host List page. After 5s counting down, GS220 will try to connect to the designated Host server. 3.3 Setting Screen Resolution GS220 supports 13 monitor resolutions. Please choose the correct resolution which matches best with the monitor.
