How to use the BootP server

Use the BootP server with the BK9105 in one of two ways:

1. Statically store an IP address by switching all the dip switches 1-9 to the on position

When choosing this mode, power cycling the BK9105 with the dip switches set to ON 1-9 will keep the IP address set by the BootP server. The BootP server does not need to be present after this point.

2. Dynamically set an IP address that is assigned by the BootP by turning on only dip switch 9

Be sure to configure the BootP server with the Mac ID of the BK9105 and the desired IP address.

Regard dip switch 9 for dynamically set IP address

It is not possible to change dip switches 1 to 9 for a static IP address. They must remain on. If using the BootP server to assign the address every time the BK9105 is powered on, make sure dip switch 9 is on.
