network via a DHCP server.

• Static IP is a permanent IP Address that is assigned to a node in a TCP/IP network.

•Default = DHCP

• IP Address: Sets the IP Address assigned to the TPI.

• Subnet Mask: Sets a subnetwork address to the TPI.

• Host Name: Sets the host name of the TPI.

Note: If the Host Name is left blank, it will automatically resort to the default - "localhost".

• Primary DNS: Sets the address of the primary DNS server being used by the TPI for host name lookups.

• DNS (Domain Name System) is software that lets users locate computers on a local network or the Internet (TCP/IP

network) by host and domain.

• The DNS server maintains a database of host names for its’ domain and their corresponding IP Addresses.

• Secondary DNS: Sets the secondary DNS value to the TPI.

• Domain: Sets the unique name on the Internet to the TPI for DNS look-up.

• The TPI belongs to the DNS domain.

• Ethernet Mode: Sets the speed of the Ethernet connection to the TPI.

• The choices are: Auto (default), 10 Half Duplex, 10 Full Duplex, 100 Half Duplex, or 100 Full Duplex.
