CONFIGURING DHCP ON ETHERNET INTERFACE
DHCP, enabled on the Ethernet interface, is the default configuration for the serial devices. The Ethernet
interface must be in client mode for this setting to be used.
The Airborne Device does not support the ability to enable DHCP on the WLAN and Ethernet interfaces
simultaneously (when in client mode). Only one may have DHCP enabled at a time. The other interface
must be configured to use a static IP address.
