# Setting up the BootP Feature

  This feature enables the BootP server to assign an IP address to a factory-fresh unit's management port.
  Note: If the unit has been configured, this feature will not work. The unit must be in factory-fresh condition.
  To set this feature up:
  1. Add a unit to the database.
  2. Configure the unit as desired, keeping the following requirements in mind:
  • If you are configuring a unit with a 486 processor, you must manage the port via IP--LAN or IP--Port 1.
  • If you are configuring a unit with a 386 processor, you must manage the port via IP--LAN, IP--WAN1, or IP--Port 3.
  • If you are configuring a lan-less unit, set up an IP address on the appropriate WAN port (varies between 486 and 386 units). When the unit comes into contact with the management workstation, you may configure an internal IP address on the unit for management purposes.
  3. Configure the desired IP address on the port through which the unit is managed.
  4. Open the File menu and select Save.
  5. Make certain the unit is powered on and connected to the network (either via LAN or WAN). After a few moments, the unit should be in contact with the management workstation. Once this occurs, you may enter the units configuration editor and perform the configuration installation.
