4.2 Con igure Your NF620 Network Settings
Upon connecting with the network hardware, you need to activate the network unction and
con igure the proper network settings o the NF620.
4.2. Enable DHCP Function
This unction can only work i the LAN, which the unit is connected to, has a DHCP server. I the
DHCP server is working, please move the dip switch points up to 3 on the lank panel; now the
NF620 will obtain an IP address automatically rom the DHCP server. In that case, please skip
section 4.2.2 (Set IP address) and ollow section 4.3 (TCP/IP Communication So tware).
4.2.2 Set IP Address
You need to set an IP address or the unit i the LAN unit isn’t connected to a DHCP server.
Otherwise, please ollow the instructions given below:
Set the IP, MASK and GATEWAY. The ollowing is a sample setting.
IP: 192.168.1.X
MASK: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 0.0.0.0
NOTE: When only one unit of the NF620 is connected to a computer or LAN, you can
freely assign an IP address for the NF620. For example, there is a range of NF620
IP addresses from 92. 68. . to 92. 68. .255. You can pick one for use from the
range of the IP. It’s not necessary to set MASK and GATEWAY; leave the settings
as default.
When a NF620 is connected to a WAN, you must acquire a unique, permanent IP
address and correctly configure the MASK and GATEWAY settings according to
your network architecture. If you have any questions regarding those settings,
please consult a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.
