Using Static IP Addressing
If your Internet service provider’s Encapsulation setting is either
1483 Bridged or 1483 Routed, the X5 can be set for either a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) address (also
known as a dynamic IP address) or for a static IP address.
Because most Internet service providers use DHCP, the X5 is
set for dynamic IP addressing by default.
There is typically an extra charge for a static IP address, and you
usually have to make a special request to get one.
Important!
If you do not know what static IP addressing is or why you would
use it, you most likely do not need to change the default setting.
Only advanced users who specifically want to use static IP
addressing and/or those users whose Internet service provider
specifically instructed them to use static IP addressing should
change this setting.
