IP Assignment Static: Device management IP addressing is configured manually in
fields IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Preferred DNS Server, and
Alternate DNS Server.
DHCP: Device management IP addressing (IP address, Subnet Mask,
Gateway, and DNS Server) is assigned via a network DHCP server, and
parameters IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Preferred DNS Server,
and Alternate DNS Server are not configurable.
IP Address Internet protocol (IP) address. This address is used by the family of
Internet protocols to uniquely identify this unit on a network.
Note
If IP Address Assignment is set to DHCP and the device is unable to
retrieve IP address information via DHCP, the device management IP is
set to fallback IP 192.168.0.1 (Master) or 192.168.0.2 (Slave).
Subnet Mask Defines the address range of the connected IP network. For example, if
Device IP Address (LAN) is configured to 192.168.2.1 and IP Subnet Mask
(LAN) is configured to 255.255.255.0, the device will belong to subnet
192.168.2.X.
