This option is a toggle, and the next time you access it you are prompted with the opposite setting. b. Select DHCP Disable, and then select Y. Default Setting = DHCP Enabled, Recommended Setting = User Dependent You can use DHCP if it is available. If you use DHCP, then steps 15c through 15g are not necessary. Otherwise, the system administrator will have to configure TCP/IP settings. For the purpose of this white paper, DHCP is disabled so steps 15c through 15g can be illustrated. Step h will appear for both DHCP and Static configurations. c. Select IP Address, and then type a static address. Default Setting = 10.0.0.2, Recommended Setting = Network Dependent Example: 192.168.0.1 Make sure all AMT systems have a unique static IP address. Multiple systems sharing the same IP address can lead to network collisions, which will cause the systems to not respond correctly. d. Select Subnet Mask, and then type a subnet mask. Default Setting = 255.255.255.0, Recommended Setting = Network Dependent Example: 255.255.255.0 e. Select Default Gateway Address, and then accept the default and press Enter. Default Setting = 0.0.0.0, Recommended Setting = Network Dependent, Leave as 0.0.0.0 if this option is not needed. f. Select Preferred DNS Address, and then accept the default value and press Enter. Default Setting = 0.0.0.0, Recommended Setting = Network Dependent Leave as 0.0.0.0 if this option is not needed. g. Select Alternate DNS Address, and then accept the default value and press Enter. Default Setting = 0.0.0.0, Recommended Setting = Network Dependent Leave as 0.0.0.0 if this option is not needed. h.Select Domain Name, and then type a domain name Default Setting = none, Recommended Setting = Network Dependent The domain name is blank by default. If not populated, then the default domain of "Provisionserver" is used when connecting to a Setup and Configuration Server. If the name of the S&CS is not "Provisionserver" and the domain name is blank, then an alias must be set up in the DHCP server to redirect the connection for "Provisionserver" to the proper S&CS domain name. If the Domain Name field is populated, that is the domain used. However, if there is no response after four DNS queries to the named domain, then that domain name is no longer used and the default "Provisionserver" is used. 10

b. Select

DHCP Disable

, and then select

Default Setting = DHCP Enabled, Recommended Setting = User Dependent

You can use DHCP if it is available. If you use DHCP, then steps 15c through 15g are not

necessary. Otherwise, the system administrator will have to configure TCP/IP settings.

For the purpose of this white paper, DHCP is disabled so steps 15c through 15g can be

illustrated. Step h will appear for both DHCP and Static configurations.

c. Select

IP Address

, and then type a static address.

Default Setting = 10.0.0.2, Recommended Setting = Network Dependent

Example: 192.168.0.1

Make sure all AMT systems have a unique static IP address. Multiple systems sharing the same IP

address can lead to network collisions, which will cause the systems to not respond correctly.

d. Select

Subnet Mask

, and then type a subnet mask.

Default Setting = 255.255.255.0, Recommended Setting = Network Dependent

Example: 255.255.255.0

e. Select

Default Gateway Address

, and then accept the default and press

Enter

Default Setting = 0.0.0.0, Recommended Setting = Network Dependent,

Leave as 0.0.0.0 if this option is not needed.

f. Select

Preferred DNS Address

, and then accept the default value and press

Enter

Default Setting = 0.0.0.0, Recommended Setting = Network Dependent

Leave as 0.0.0.0 if this option is not needed.

g. Select

Alternate DNS Address

, and then accept the default value and press

Enter

Default Setting = 0.0.0.0, Recommended Setting = Network Dependent

Leave as 0.0.0.0 if this option is not needed.

h.Select

Domain Name

, and then type a domain name

Default Setting = none, Recommended Setting = Network Dependent

The domain name is blank by default. If not populated, then the default domain of

“Provisionserver” is used when connecting to a Setup and Configuration Server.

If the name of the S&CS is not “Provisionserver” and the domain name is blank, then an alias

must be set up in the DHCP server to redirect the connection for "Provisionserver" to the proper

S&CS domain name.

If the

Domain Name

field is populated, that is the domain used. However, if there is no

response after four DNS queries to the named domain, then that domain name is no longer

used

and the default “Provisionserver” is used.
