Configure the IPv4 Settings

In the IPv4 section, enter or select the appropriate IPv4-specific network settings.

Step

 

Enter the IP Address, if needed.

The default IP address is 192.168.0.192.

Enter the Subnet Mask.

The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

Step

 

There are two options available to set up your IP auto configuration:

  • None (default) - This is the recommended option (static IP).
  • DHCP - With this option, the IP address is automatically assigned by a DHCP server.

Step

 

  • None is a static IP and is the default selection.

    Since the KX III is part of your network infrastructure, you most likely do not want its IP address to change frequently. This option allows you to set the network parameters.

    If you want to ensure redundant failover capabilities should the primary Ethernet port or the switch/router to which it is connected fail, leave the IP Auto Configuration set to None.

    If a failure occurs, KX III fails over to the secondary network port with the same IP address. This ensures there is no interruption.

    If you select None, you must manually specify the network parameters by entering the Default Gateway.

Step

 

  • DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used by networked computers (clients) to obtain unique IP addresses and other parameters from a DHCP server. With this option, network parameters are assigned by the DHCP server.

    Enter the Preferred DHCP Host Name if DHCP is selected from the IP Auto Configuration drop-down. Up to 63 characters.

  1. Next, configure IPv6 and/or DNS settings.
