IP Address: An IP address is like a telephone number for a computer. Other network devices talk to this Digi device using this ID.
The IP address is a 4-part ID assigned to network devices. IP addresses are in the form of 192.168.2.2, where each number is between 0 and 255.
- Subnet Mask: The Subnet Mask is combined with the IP address to determine which network this Digi device is part of. A common subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
- Default Gateway: IP address of the computer that enables this Digi device to access other networks, such as the Internet.
- Enable AutoIP address assignment: With AutoIP enabled, the Digi device will automatically self-configure an IP address when an address is not available from other methods, for example, when the Digi device is configured for DHCP and a DHCP server is not currently available.
