System configuration > Networks
The data processor uses network configurations to determine how to boot up and communicate with the browser. Many network configurations can be defined, but only the active configuration is considered at boot time.
To define a new network configuration, click New. Select Static or Dynamic as desired.
Select Static and enter the appropriate parameters:
Select Dynamic - Obtain IP address configurations automatically (DHCP) (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), to get information such as an IP address, subnet mask and default gateway. If on a network with a DHCP server, use the HBM Device Manager (on the included USB drive) or contact your IT administrator to find out the IP address. If presented with a certificate warning, choose to proceed.
Click Save to save the new configuration. To make the new configuration active, click the Make active button. The unit reboots with the new settings.
Select the desired configuration from the networks list and click the Make active button. The unit reboots with the new network settings.
CAUTION
Make sure that all entries are correct before making a network configuration active. Incorrect settings can render the system temporarily unusable and require a manual reset to default network settings. See Configuring network settings> Default network configuration and restoring default settings for the reset procedure.
NOTE
Save all changes before modifying the active configuration or making a configuration active. The required system reboot discards all pending changes.
To edit the parameters of an existing network configuration, select the desired configuration from the networks list and edit the parameters as necessary. Click Save to save the changes. If modifying the active network, the system may need to reboot to apply the changes.
To delete an existing network configuration, select the configuration from the networks list and click Delete. The active network and default network configurations cannot be deleted.
