DHCP
  1. To use DHCP, choose Yes. Then, the system will automatically determine the network information (IPv4 address, subnet, gateway, and DNS server) itself. It will then display the IP address and the AhsayUBS WebAdmin's URL in the console.
  2. By default, you can use the address "http://{SERVER_IP_ADDRESS}:8080" to access the AhsayUBS WebAdmin in the browser.
  3. Finally, choose OK to go back to the main menu.
DHCP is not a recommended avenue for network configuration, as your client users may not be able to connect to the server if the IP is reassigned to a different IP.
Static IP

  1. A Static IP can be assigned for the AhsayUBS. Choose No to set the IP address manually.
