on “Static IP address assignment.”

The advantage of a static IP address is that the IP address of your XT is fixed and
will never change. Depending on your router, a static IP address might be required
to guarantee a constantly working remote access (you can find more information
about port forwarding in the FAQ "General"

"What do I have to do to get remote
access of my Lupus device?").

The disadvantage of a static IP address is that you need to set all IP information
manually. The information have to be completely correct and need to fit to the
infrastructure of your local area network
PLEASE NOTE:
If some of the IP information are incorrect, you might not be able to access your
device or some functions of you device might not work correctly. If this is the case,
we advise you to check your settings or use DHCP (which can be also be activated
via our IP Finder).
How do I assign a static IP address correctly?
If you want to assign a static IP address, you are required to fill in the following IP
information:

IP address:
This is the IP address, by which you will access your XT in your local area network.
This IP address may only be assigned to a single device and needs to be outside
of the IP range of your DHCP server (the DHCP range of your server is set in your
router). The first three parts of the IP address have to be identical to the IP address
of your router (e.g. 192.168.123.xxx).

Subnet mask:
The subnet mask defines of how many bits the net prefix consists of, thus, defining
which IP addresses are assigned and can be accessed in your local area network.
You can check for your subnet mask via the command panel (see
gateway ). In
most local area networks with an 192.168.xxx.xxx IP address, the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0

Gateway:
The gateway is the IP address of your router or the device by which your XT
communicates with the internet.

DNS 1:
A d omain n ame s erver is required for the name resolution of internet addresses,
hence for the communication with the internet. In most networks, the IP address
of the router can be used. The router will forward the query to suitable domain
