I o n I P S e t t i n g s
These are the settings that determine the method to get an IP address
and/or the actual IP address information that Ion uses for network
communication.
E n a b l e D H C P
Clicking in the enable box will set Ion to get its IP address dynamically
from a DHCP server. While the console is starting, it will ask for an IP
address from a DHCP server. If one responds, it will use the assigned IP address.
If no DHCP server is available, Ion will default to a self-generated link-local IP address in the range
of 169.254.x.y. The IP address used by Ion in this configuration may change dynamically as
needed. A change should typically only occur when there are changes to the network configuration
or to resolve an IP address conflict.
Enabling or disabling the DHCP setting will require you to reboot Ion for the new setting to take
affect.
N o t e :
IP Addr ess
If DHCP is disabled, you set the Ion IP address here. This is a static IP address and will remain set
until changed by a user. Ion defaults to an IP address of 10.101.100.101.
If DHCP is enabled, this field will display the IP address that is being used by the console (whether
it is served via DHCP or a self-generated link-local IP address).
S u b n e t M a s k
If DHCP is disabled, you set the Ion subnet mask here. This is a static setting and will remain set
until changed by a user. Ion's default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0.
If DHCP is enabled, this field will display the subnet mask that is being used by the console
(whether it is served via DHCP or a self-generated link-local IP address).
G a t e w a y
If DHCP is disabled, you set the gateway IP address here. This is a static gateway IP address and
will remain set until changed by a user. Ion's default gateway is 10.101.100.101.
If DHCP is enabled, this field will display the gateway IP address that is being used by the console
(whether it is served via DHCP or a self-generated link-local IP address).

You cannot set Ion to receive an IP address via DHCP and act as a DHCP server
at the same time. It can either send dynamic addresses or receive them, but not
both at the same time.
