Option Description Notes
IP Mode Configure the IP address mode. When set to AUTO IP ,
an IP Address in the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx with
Netmask of 255.255.0.0 and Gateway address of
169.254.1.1 will be automatically assigned to the
N2251 Decoder by the control software. When set to
DHCP, an IP Address in the range of the DHCP server on
the network will be automatically assigned to the
N2251 Decoder. When set to STATIC , an IP address ,
Netmask , and Gateway address must be manually
entered.
DHCP is the default setting. However, using DHCP
beyond initial setup is generally not recommended. If
the device is set to DHCP and fails to receive an
address from the DHCP server in time, it will revert
back to the AUTO IP Address (169.254.xxx.xxx) until
the unit is rebooted.
