Displaying or Changing Network Configuration Values

Select Network Confi guration from the Main Menu.
2.
Enter a valid value in the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address fi elds. The
addresses must be entered in standard IP dot notation. The gateway address must be in the
same subnet as the IP address.
You cannot set the IP address to: a Class A address of 0.0.x.x, a loopback address of
127.x.x.x, the default value of 192.1.1.1 or an address at or above 248.x.x.x.

reboot, click the Reboot button. If the IP address had not been previously set, the unit
reboots automatically.
