In the IP Setup box, choose either: • DHCP: the IP address for the server is automatically assigned by the DHCP (dynamic host control protocol) server on the network. The Host, Gateway, and Subnet Mask boxes in the dialog are ignored. • Static: assign the IP address for the server using the Host, Gateway, and Subnet Mask boxes in the dialog. 6. If you chose Static IP Setup in the previous step, fill in the IP addressing boxes: • Host IP Address: the IP address of this server. • Gateway IP Address: the IP address of the router for this server. • Subnet Mask: the IP address for the server's subnet. The server uses this to decide if the alert destination is on the same subnet. 7. Click Save to save the changes. 8.
