In the IX system IP strategy mainly are below:

·         Static

·         DHCP&AUTO

Static and DHCP are the same as any other network devices, which static needs manually input IP address information. At the same time, DHCP obtains an IP address from the DHCP server.

The AUTO means automatically IP addressing:

While if there is no DHCP server in the network, the IX device set in DHCP&AUTO will turn to auto IP addressing, and assign itself a static IP address automatically.

Auto IP assigned from block 192.168.243.1/20 (192.168.243.0 through 192.168.255.256), and the gateway address is 192.168.243.200 by default, and self IP address checking make sure each IX device’s auto IP is unique in the network.

 

In LAN

When use Static Strategy

  • system more than 200pcs and use VLAN, Static is must

  • existing system with static requirement

  • Router with a static IP address and without DHCP

  • project or customer demand

  • IP camera is suggested to use static

 

When use DHCP Strategy

  • system less than 200pcs and there is a DHCP server

 

When use AUTO Strategy

  • Private network without DHCP

    should use “DHCP&AUTO” to get correct IP address.  In this occasion IX system will generate IP address by “AUTO”. (-A). Connect with router without DHCP, the router must set IP “192.168.243.200/20”

 

In WLAN

Normally use DHCP

 

 

No uniform IP Strategy is required for each device.

All IP address network segments are the same.
