address could change, but normally won't.

to be a DCHP client, and you wish to guarantee that the IAD-200 /

 

IAD-200W will always allocate the same IP Address to this PC.

 

Enter the required IP address.

 

• Fixed IP Address - Select this if the PC is using a Fixed (Static)

must be configured to use this IP address.)
