Configuring the MAX Communication Parameters

Although the unit is initially configured to obtain the first available DHCP Address, it is recommended that after the initial connection, the unit be setup to use a Static IP Address. Using a Static IP Address for both the source and destination devices can be beneficial for both diagnostic and direct access purposes.
