Defining IP Interface Parameters
The IP Interface Parameters page is used to select whether the device IP address, mask and/or gateway is
assigned statically, or dynamically using DHCP. The page is also used to make static assignments, and to
approve dynamic assignments received from the DHCP server before they go into affect (until approval,
the old address is used).

IP Interface Parameters page, click System→ IP Addressing → IP Interface Parameters in
the tree view.
