Chapter 2 Network Services Setup
DHCP Configuration
The 1783-EMS switch can function as a DHCP/BOOTP server.
Dynamic IP Address Assignment by IP Address Pool
The 1783-EMS switch has the ability to serve IP addresses to 32 nodes. Set up the
1783-EMS switch as follows.
1. Establish a connection with the 1783-EMS switch.
2. Click Network Services Setup and DHCP Configuration.
3. Enable the DHCP server by clicking ON - Assigned from Pool; this is off
by default.
4. Enter your subnet and gateway addresses for the network.
IMPORTANT
Do not confuse this with the BOOTP/DHCP client, which lets the
1783-EMS switch receive an address from a DHCP/BOOTP
server.
IMPORTANT
Keep this feature shut off if this device is on a larger IT-
controlled network. Company networks typically have DHCP
servers in place to service the computers on the network with IP
addresses. This device can conflict with the existing DHCP
servers on the network and prevent them from handing out
addresses.
