Keyspan:USB Server - User Manual
Network tab: IP Address Assignment
The IP Address Assignment pop-up allows you to change how
the USB Server obtains its network settings (ie IP address, Subnet
Mask, etc.).
Using Default (default setting): In this mode, the USB Server will
try to get an IP address via DHCP first. If it fails to obtain an IP
address within 10 seconds, it will assign itself an IP address via
Zeroconfig. This is the recommended setting for most users.
Using DHCP: In this mode, the USB Server will automatically
obtain an address via DHCP server. Use this setting if you only
want to use an IP address obtained via a DHCP server (ie a DSL
router, etc.).
Using Zeroconfig: In this mode, the USB Server will assign itself
an IP address via the Zeroconfig protocol. Use this setting if you
are in a network where you only want to use Zeroconfig IP
addresses.
Tech Note:Zeroconfig: Zeroconfig (aka Zeroconf) is a networking protocol
that allows computers to automatically find each other without the need for you
to enter IP addresses, configure DNS servers, or setup DHCP. You can get
more information about ZeroConf at http://www.zeroconf.org/
Please note that computers using Zeroconfig can only communicate with each
other when they are on the same Ethernet segment (ie all Zeroconfig
computers are connected to same Ethernet hub).
Manually: In this mode, you will manually enter your IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address. Use this mode if you want
your USB Server to always use the same network settings.
Network tab: IP Address/Subnet Mask/ Gateway
The USB Server will show its current network configuration in the
IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway fields. You can only
enter data in these fields if you have the IP Address Assignment
pop-up set to Manually.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All of the the fields (IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Gateway) must be filled in. Your server will not be able to communicate with
your network if it is missing any of this information.
This User Manual applies to the Keyspan USB Server Software Version 1.3.x. Patent Pending.
