BOSSTX2 CE 5.0 User's Manual

3.2.1 Network Configuration

Network attached device must contain a unique network identifier. If the network is using TCP/IP as a communication
protocol, these identifiers are called IP addresses. The following series of screens will allow you to choose from two different
methods of assigning the IP addresses.

3.2.1.1 Use the IP information supplied by DHCP

If your network provides DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) service and you want it to provide the terminals IP
information, leave the first option selected.
The terminal can get its IP address through a DHCP service by default. The DHCP will automatically assign an IP address
that is drawn from a pool of available IP addresses, when a terminal unit is powered on and a request is broadcast over the
network.
Use the IP information supplied by DHCP
If you need to specify static IP address for the terminal, select the second option.
The option is selected automatically if your network does not provide a DHCP service, or if the unit is not properly connected
to the network. In these cases, leave the second option selected.
IP Address
Note: If your network does not provide a DHCP service but you get the screen shown above, make sure the terminal unit is
properly connected to the network. Then restart it by cycling the power off and then on.
