2 Entering the IP Parameters
The IP parameters must be entered when the device is installed for the first
time.
The device provides 7 options for entering the IP parameters during the first
installation:
Entry using the Command Line Interface (CLI).
You choose this “out of band” method if
you preconfigure your device outside its operating environment
you do not have network access (“in-band”) to the device
(see page 33 “Entering IP parameters via CLI”).
Entry using the HiDiscovery protocol.
You choose this “in-band” method if the device is already installed in the
network or if you have another Ethernet connection between your PC and
the device
(see page 36 “Entering the IP Parameters via HiDiscovery”).
Configuration using the AutoConfiguration Adapter (ACA).
You choose this method if you are replacing a device with a device of the
same type and have already saved the configuration on an ACA (see
page 39 “Loading the system configuration from the ACA”).
Using BOOTP.
You choose this “in-band” method if you want to configure the installed
device using BOOTP. You need a BOOTP server for this. The BOOTP
server assigns the configuration data to the device using its MAC address
(see page 41 “System configuration via BOOTP”). Because the device is
delivered with “DHCP mode” as the entry for the configuration data
reference, you have to reset this to the BOOTP mode for this method.
Configuration via DHCP.
You choose this “in-band” method if you want to configure the installed
device using DHCP. You need a DHCP server for this. The DHCP server
assigns the configuration data to the device using its MAC address or its
system name (see page 46 “System Configuration via DHCP”).
