Explanation
To use the Ethernet interface, you must specify TCP/IP settings.
DHCP
DHCP is a protocol that temporarily allocates necessary information to a device so that it can connect
to the Internet.
ON
If you are connecting the 2558A to a network with a DHCP server, you can turn on the DHCP
setting. If you do, the IP address will be automatically assigned to the 2558A when it is connected to
the network, so you do not have to set the address.
OFF
If you set DHCP to OFF, set the appropriate IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for your
network.
IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway
The IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway appear in the following manner.
IP address display example
192. 168. 0. 1
IP.0
IP.1
IP.2 IP.3
Displaying the MAC address
Because the first and second bytes are fixed at zero, they are not displayed.
Example: If the MAC address is 00.00.12.34.56.78, “12.34.56.78” is displayed.
