Chapter 6: Device Management97Network Basic SettingsThese procedures describe how to assign an IP address on the NetworkSettings page. For complete information about all of the fields and theoperation of this page, see Network Settings (on page 96).Assign the KX II-101-V2 an IP AddressTo assign an IP address to the KX II-101-V2:1. Choose Device Settings > Network. The Network Settings pageopens.2. Specify a meaningful Device Name for your KX II-101-V2 device.Up to 32 alphanumeric and valid special characters, no spacesbetween characters.3. Next, configure the IPv4, IPv6 and DNS settings.Configure the IPv4 Settings1. In the IPv4 section, enter or select the appropriate IPv4-specificnetwork settings:a. Enter the IP Address if needed. The default IP address is192.168.0.192.b. Enter the Subnet Mask. The default subnet mask is255.255.255.0.c. Enter the Default Gateway if None is selected from the IP AutoConfiguration drop-down.d. Enter the Preferred DHCP Host Name if DHCP is selected fromthe IP Auto Configuration drop-down.e. Select the IP Auto Configuration. The following options areavailable: None (Static IP) - This option requires you manually specify thenetwork parameters.This is the recommended option because the KX II-101-V2 is aninfrastructure device, and its IP address should not change.Select this option if you want to ensure redundant failovercapabilities should the primary Ethernet port (or the switch/routerto which it is connected) fail. If it fails, KX II-101-V2 fails over tothe secondary network port with the same IP address, ensuringthere is not interruption. DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used bynetworked computers (clients) to obtain unique IP addressesand other parameters from a DHCP server.
