Examples: Network configuration

This section describes two possible configurations:
1. A stand-alone local area network
2. A large company network.
Local area network
A small stand-alone network is the easiest option.
NOTICE
As no "hub" is used, you will need a special twisted-pair cable for the point-to-point
connection.
1. Select for DHCP: "Yes", the IP address, subnet mask and gateway data are transmitted
and displayed automatically via a DHCP server. These data cannot be overwritten.
You have to enter the computer name and DNS domain manually.
2. Select for DHCP: "No", because no server exists, for example, you have to determine and
enter the data yourself.
18
Use the "Select" key to select the "Yes" or "No" setting, depending on whether or not a
DHCP server is available.
A unique IP address must be selected for each computer.
A unique subnet mask must be entered for the entire network.
A gateway is not needed for a local area network.
Please ask your administrator for the settings of a company network.
The name is optional, as it is only a symbolic identifier and can be replaced by the IP
address at any time.
If the DNS (Domain Name Server) has the appropriate assignment of computer and IP
address, no entry is required here.
MAC address: This is unique (on the NCU 710 after X130). If the NCU is already known,
it will be displayed automatically.
