4.3.7 Configuring Network Settings
4.3.7.1 Changing Your NMB’s IP Address
When you first set up your NMB, it requests an IP address from a DHCP server. If a DHCP server is not
available or the request fails, the NMB reverts to the factory default IP address displayed on the integrated
screen. After you have established a connection and can access the NMB’s dashboard and configuration
area, you can change its network settings.
To change your NMB’s IP address, complete the following steps:
1. Select System Configure > IPv4.
2. In the Preferred IP Address Method field, select one of the following methods to use to connect to your
NMB:
• Static—Connects to your network using a static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
• DHCP—Requests an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway from a DHCP server on the
connected network (default)
When you use a static IP address for the NMB, you may need to change the computer’s IP
address so that both devices are assigned addresses on the same logical network (for
instructions, refer to Microsoft).
