TCP-IP parameter configuration
To operate properly in a network environment, the LAN interface must be
configured with valid TCP/IP network parameters. These parameters are:
• IP address
• Subnet Mask
• Default Gateway
The TCP/IP parameters can be configured by the following methods:
• by automatically requesting the parameters from a network- based
• by automatically requesting the parameters from a network- based DHCP
• by manually setting the parameters using Telnet
• by manually setting the parameters using the Instant Pilot (G4208A)
The LAN interface differentiates between several initialization modes. The
initialization mode (short form 'init mode') defines how to determine the
active TCP/IP parameters after power- on. The parameters may be derived
from a Bootp cycle, non- volatile memory or initialized with known default
values. The initialization mode is selected by the configuration switch, see
