Network
IPv4
Assign IPv4 automatically: Select to let the network router assign an IP address to the device automatically. We recommend
automatic IP (DHCP) for most networks.
IP address: Enter a unique IP address for the device. Static IP addresses can be assigned at random within isolated networks,
provided that each address is unique. To avoid conflicts, we recommend you to contact your network administrator before you
assign a static IP address.
Subnet mask: Enter the subnet mask to define what addresses are inside the local area network. Any address outside the local
area network goes through the router.
Router: Enter the IP address of the default router (gateway) used to connect devices that are attached to different networks and
network segments.
IPv6
Assign IPv6 automatically: Select to turn on IPv6 and to let the network router assign an IP address to the device automatically.
Hostname
Assign hostname automatically: Select to let the network router assign a hostname to the device automatically.
Hostname: Enter the hostname manually to use as an alternative way of accessing the device. The Hostname is used in the server
report and in the system log. Allowed characters are A–Z, a–z, 0–9 and -.
DNS servers
Assign DNS automatically: Select to let the network router assign search domains and DNS server addresses to the device
automatically. We recommend automatic DNS (DHCP) for most networks.
Search domains: When you use a hostname that is not fully qualified, click Add search domain and enter a domain in which to
search for the hostname used by the device.
DNS servers: Click Add DNS server and enter the IP address of the DNS server. This provides the translation of hostnames to IP
addresses on your network.
Network discovery protocols
Fallback NTP servers: Enter the IP address of one or two fallback servers.
Manual NTP servers: Enter the IP address of one or two NTP servers. When you use two NTP servers, the
device synchronizes and adapts its time based on input from both.
