Basic Network Configuration
This section provides you with information on basic network configuration.
Basic network settings can be derived from a DHCP server or entered
manually through TCP/IP Setup.
Using DHCP the device requests and obtains an available IP address from a
DHCP server. The device also obtains other parameters such as the default
gateway, subnet mask, DNS server, Time server and other IP parameters from
the DHCP server.
Using manual TCP/IP Setup the IP addresses and other networking
parameters are entered manually through the web based Administration
Page. The static IP addresses are unique, provided and managed by your
system administrator.

Recommended Network Configuration
When configuring a KWS6000 Solution, it is strongly recommended to
configure:
• KWS6000 using static IP address
• Media resources using DHCP
• Base stations using DHCP
Note
When using DHCP on base stations and media resources, the KWS6000
must have either a static IP address or IP address reservations assigned to
the DHCP server.
