2.2 Network Configuration

Ethernet

NovoConnect NC-X300 can be plugged into Ethernet via its USB-to-RJ45 cable to access local network. User can connect to organization’s backbone network. It is recommended to use Ethernet connection (when possible) since it gives you better robustness and higher performance.

When connecting to a wired network, NC- X300 supports both DHCP and Static IP connection types.

• DHCP: obtains its IP address from the DHCP server on the network.
• Static IP: assigned a fixed IP address manually.

How to Set up Static IP: Plug Ethernet cable into NC-X300, use USB mouse or touch panel, go to Settings > Device Settings > General > Advanced > Ethernet > Ethernet Configuration.
