Confirm that the network to which you are connecting the unit has a DHCP server.
Notes:
If DHCP mode is selected, but there is no DHCP server on the network, the unit will be unable to communicate with other devices.
In this example, the DHCP server is provided by the router. Ensure that your network is using a router. A plain switch will not provide the required DHCP server for the example.
From the main menu, select CONFIG to display the first configuration page, LAN CONFIG.
Move the cursor to the second line, next to IP.
Push the wheel button, then move the wheel until the cursor position indicates DHCP, then push the wheel button again to confirm the settings.
Tips:
Since DHCP is being used, there is no need to specify an IP address, subnet mask or gateway - they are automatically assigned by the DHCP process.
If a DNS is set up on the network and DHCP has been configured to contact the DNS, the DNS field will be populated automatically with the IP address of the DNS. NION uses the DNS to resolve the domain names of time servers. For more information, see Setting up a NION as a master.
Select NEXT to advance to the next page, or OK to confirm the settings and exit.
