Click on the link to display the next configuration page, which is the same in the MIP-5800 and the MIP-5850 .
Configure each network parameter as indicated in the following text. Consult with your I.T. department if you are not familiar with IP address management or if you don't know how your local network is configured.
- IP configuration
-
Select static or dynamic (DHCP assigned) IP addressing for the MOB-IP-SIM™ unit. This should already be configured correctly if the MOB-IP-SIM™ Manager has been used for the initial LAN setup. Static mode is recommended for most test environments.

DHCP Operation If the MOB-IP-SIM has been set to DHCP mode, the IP Address, Netmask, Broadcast address, Gateway address, and DNS server parameters will automatically be assigned and displayed in this form.
- Hostname
-
Default = mip. Enter a string based name identifier. This is used by some DHCP servers to allow network addressing by name rather than direct IP addressing. This setting is not critical.
- IP address
-
If a static IP configuration is used, then this is the static IP address of the MOB-IP-SIM™ unit and should have been configured correctly by the MOB-IP-SIM™ Manager setup.
- Gateway address
-
This is the address of a local network router used to reach the Internet. This value only applies to the static IP mode since DHCP mode automatically sets this address. The address must be on the local network and the net mask must be compatible with the simulator net mask and IP address.
- Primary DNS server
-
This is the IP address of a Dynamic Name Server that provides name lookups for your network. This value only applies in the static IP mode since DHCP mode automatically establishes this address. Type ipconfig /all | more at the Windows DOS prompt to determine this address on your network.
- Secondary DNS server
-
See Primary DNS server.
- Tertiary DNS server
-
See Primary DNS server.
