Submenu
This submenu, along with Radio Configuration settings, are the
minimum which must be considered when implementing any IP
Series network.
It must be determined if the unit is to be either:
 assigned an IP address (by a DHCP server), or
 given a static (unchanging) IP address.
Once the above is ascertained, the items within this submenu may
be configured.
DHCP: Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol may
be used by networked
devices (Clients) to obtain
unique network addresses
from a DHCP server.
Advantage:
Ensures unique IP addresses
are assigned, from a central
point (DHCP server) within a
network.
Disadvantage:
The address of a particular
device is not ‗known‘ and is
also subject to change.
STATIC addresses must be
tracked (to avoid duplicate
use), yet they may be
permanently assigned to a
device.
IP Address Mode
If ‗static‘ is selected, the three following fields (see Image 6F) are to
be manually populated with values which will suit the network/
devices to which the IP Series is connected.
