Wifi Method: This allows the unit to be changed between Dynamic (DHCP client) or 
Static modes. The default setting is enabled.

The wi-fi modem will try to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server on the LAN.

•  IP address: shows current IP address but can also be configured for a static IP 

address.

•  Subnet mask address: shows current subnet address but can also be configured for a 

customer’s subnet address.

•  Gateway address: shows current gateway address but can also be configured for a 

customer’s gateway address.

•  DNS Address 1: can be configured to use specific DNS servers.
•  DNS Address 2: can be configured to use specific DNS servers.
•  Tunnel Port: Port 443 is default but there is an option to use 10443.
•  App passcode: used in conjunction with Installer and Customer apps.

When Wifi Method is set to Static, this sets the unit in Static IP addressing mode.

Example – to change from DHCP to Static mode:
