Solution
|
You can use Get
IP address automatically from DHCP server. As DS-510
is set by default to Get
IP address automatically,
DS-510 will obtain an IP address appropriate to your network
environment from the DHCP server just by powering up DS-510.

Solution
|
Please use DHCP
Server feature of DS-510 or Assign IP
address manually.
Keep in mind of the following points regarding the IP address to assign
to DS-510.
-
Assign an IP address unique in the network.
-
Assign an IP address that has the same address class
as the computer that will use DS-510.
e.g. When an IP address of the computer is "192.168.0.xx", assign an
address
such as "192.168.0.100" that is not used by other network devices.
-
When the DHCP Server feature of DS-510 is used,
the IP address of DS-510 is automatically set to "192.168.0.1".
(Tips about the IP address)
-
An IP address is a unique number for identifying
network devices. An IP address is indicated with four numbers divided
by a period (.), for example "192.168.0.1". The integer from 0-255 is
used for each number.
-
An IP address is, depending on the number assigned,
categorized to 3 classes below.
-
Numbers making up the IP address are either network
numbers indicating network, or host numbers indicating each network device; each number indicates the different
meaning based on the IP address class. Each class is categorized as the
following diagram which is indicating a network number as n,
and a host number as u. An IP address with the same
network number must be assigned to the network devices in the same
network segment.
-
There is an address range in the IP address called
the private address that could be used freely. In the LAN environment
not directly connected to the internet, an IP address is assigned
within the range of the private address.
