• If you select Enabled, the terminal assigns dynamic IP addresses to
devices connected to the terminal.
• If you select Disabled, you need to set up a static IP address in the
connected device.
A number of IP subnets cannot be used in connected devices
Note
because they are reserved for internal use in the terminal. See
List of reserved IP subnets on page 231.

terminal, type in the new address and netmask.

Port forwarding
Port forwarding enables you to set up a server connected to the terminal while
the terminal is in Router mode. Without port forwarding it would not be
possible to contact the server from the Internet.
We recommend using a static public IP address for the terminal in order to
provide easy access to the terminal. For information on how to set up a static
IP address, refer to step 6 on page 146 in the section Editing a network user
group.
For information on how to set the terminal in Router mode, see step 5 on
page 146 in the section Editing a network user group.
The following example shows how to allow Internet access to a mail server
(smtp) connected to the terminal.
The mail server in this example has the IP address 192.168.0.100.
