Static IP
As a DHCP enabled device, the DIGI-HD-4X8 will automatically receive an IP
address. However, control systems require that devices have a
fixed
IP address
on the network. Using the Docklight utility, you can assign a static IP address to
the DIGI-HD-4X8. This must be done using a serial connection.
