Overview
The parameters in IPv4 settings are used to access the IOLAN and are how the IOLAN accesses the 
network.
Field Descriptions
Configure the following parameters:
 
System Name
The 
System Name
 is used for informational purposes by such tools as the 
DeviceManager and is also used in conjunction with the Domain field to 
construct a fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
Default: Terminal Server-xxxxxx (where xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of the 
Terminal Server’s MAC address )
Domain
This field is combined with the 
System Name
 to construct the fully qualified 
domain name (FQDN). For example, if the domain is mycompany.com and the 
Server Name
 is set to accounting, the FQDN would be 
accounting.mycompany.com.
Obtain IP Address 
automatically using 
DHCP/BOOTP
When enabled, the IOLAN will request an IP address from the DHCP/BOOTP 
server. By default, when this option is enabled, the IOLAN will also attempt to 
retrieve the DNS server, WINS server, and default gateway from the 
DHCP/BOOTP server.
Default: Disabled
