The system ships with a default IP address and subnet mask address, which should only be used for an initial system configuration. To perform an initial configuration, you need: NOTE: Have an IP address available to replace the default IP address if you choose the static mode of IP addressing, or select to use the DHCP mode of IP addressing. - An IP address for the system - A subnet mask address - A default gateway address DELL CONFIDENTIAL - PRELIMINARY 1/10/12 - FOR PROOF ONLY Setting Up the DR4000 System 11
