Selecting Fixed IP or DHCP
The system is capable of operating in DHCP or fixed IP address modes. In DHCP, the
system will automatically be assigned an IP address from the router. A fixed IP address is
one that is permanently assigned to the system.
After setting up your system, it is highly recommended to set your system to use a fixed
IP
address. This ensures that the IP address will not change if the power goes out or your
router resets.
To setup a fixed IP address or DHCP:
1 Right-click and then click Menu>Configur

Gateway, and Preferred DNS Server, and Alternate DNS Server.
