Dynamic versus Static IP Address – This is pretty basic; a
Dynamic IP address changes every time you log onto the network,
a Static IP address always stays the same. A good example of a
dynamic IP address is your dial-up Internet access. Your computer
gets a different IP address assigned to it every time you dial up. A
network installation using Dynamic IP address requires a dedi-
cated device known as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol)
server to assign the IP addresses from a pool of available ad-
dresses as each network device logs on. For an automation system
we really recommend using a Static IP address setup. This makes
it simple to always know what address to find a particular device,
such as the Model 961 amplifier.
