Setting the DVPEN01-SL network
1.
IP Configuration
There are two types of IP address, static IP addresses and DHCP.
Static IP address: Preset or manually modified by the user.
DHCP: Automatically updated by the server. There has to be a server in the LAN.
IP
Explanation
Static
The user enters the IP address, subnet mask and gateway.
DHCP
DHCP server offers the IP address, subnet mask and gateway.
2.
IP Address
IP address is the location of the equipment in the network. Every equipment connected to the network has
to have an IP address. Incorrect IP address will result in connection failure on the equipment or even other
equipment. Ask your ISP for questions about IP address setup. The default IP address for DVPEN01-SL is
192.168.1.5.
3.
Netmask
Subnet mask is an important parameter for setting the subnet, used for seeing if the destination IP address
and the local equipment are in the same subnet. If not, the equipment will send the packet to the gateway,
and the gateway will send the packet to another subnet. Incorrect setting may cause the destination
equipment unable to communicate with DVPEN01-SL. To see if your setting is correct, conduct bitwise AND
operations between your IP address and subnet mask and destination IP address and subnet mask. If the
two values obtained are the same, the two IP addresses are in the same subnet. The default subnet mask
of DVPEN01-SL is 255.255.255.0.
4.
Gateway
Gateway is the gate for two different subnets, allowing the two ends in different subnets to communicate.
For example, if the LAN has to be connected to WAN, it will need a gateway to bridge the communication.
The IP address of the gateway has to be in the same subnet as DVPEN01-SL. The default gateway IP
address of DVPEN01-SL is 192.168.1.1.
