Configuring Gateway Addressing

This page is for advanced users who wish to configure the Gateway to use Static IP Addressing instead of its default, DHCP.

The Gateway can be configured to use either DHCP or Static IP Addressing. To view which addressing mode is currently used, press 'E' and this will display Ethernet information, including the addressing mode.

Before you begin, you will need to know the following settings:
 * Static IP Address (e.g. 192.168.1.7)
 * Netmask (e.g. 255.255.255.0)
 * Default IP Gateway (e.g. 192.168.1.1)
 * IP Address of DNS server (e.g. 192.168.1.2)

To change it, press Control-E.
 * 1) You will be asked to confirm whether you want to change IP addressing mode or not. Press 'Y'.
 * 2) Enter each parameter above. Be careful to type correctly, the command line interface doesn't support backspace
 * 3) Once completed then the Gateway will restart using the selected settings.
 * 4) To test that it worked before, use the following command line commands:
 * View the settings - 'E'
 * Test DNS - 'B'
 * Ping the server - 'D'
