Setting the Xerox Secure Access Unified ID System® Authentication Device IP Address

1. Purpose
This document is a summary of the boot process for a terminal configure to run in mode 2 (Office Environment) Correct IP Address assignment is essential to ensure that the Authentication Devices can communicate with the target DCE server.

2. General Boot-up procedure
The following network information is required for a Xerox Secure Access Authentication Device to communicate with a DCE server:
1. IP Address of the Authentication device
2. IP Address of the DCE server
3. The subnet mask
4. The default Gateway

There are two ways to configure the IP Address of each Authentication Device:
1. Using Static IP values
2. Using DHCP
When configured to use the Static IP address option, any changes made to the settings are stored in the EEPROM however when configured in DHCP mode, the values are NOT stored in the EEPROM. This is important to understand because in DHCP mode under certain conditions the Authentication Device will use values read from the EEPROM.

It is possible to set the values stored in the EEPROM for both Static and DHCP mode via the Authentication Device web page. In DHCP mode the IP Address, Network Mask and Gateway values will not be stored regardless of which mode is specified -the server address will always be stored.
