When static IP addressing is used, the user must manually configure the
IP address and other parameters. When dynamic addressing is used, the
radio uses a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client
process to obtain an IP address from a DHCP Server, along with other
parameters such as a net mask and a default gateway.
CAUTION:Changing any of the following parameters while
communicating over the network (LAN or over-the-air) might
cause a loss of communication with the unit being configured.
You will need to reestablish communication using the new IP
address.
