LAN Port Configuration
The LAN Ethernet port(s) on the pMDDL5824 are for connection of devices on a local network. By default,
this port has a static IP Address. It also, by default is running a DHCP server to provide IP Addresses to
devices that are connected to the physical LAN port (directly or via a switch).

2: Network > Network LAN Configuration
DHCP:
Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol may
be used by networked
devices (Clients) to obtain
unique network addresses
from a DHCP server.
Advantage:
Ensures unique IP addresses
are assigned, from a central
point (DHCP server) within a
network.
Disadvantage:
The address of a particular
device is not
‘
known
’
and is
also subject to change.
STATIC addresses must be
tracked (to avoid duplicate
use), yet they may be
permanently assigned to a
device.
Within any IP network, each
device must have its own
unique IP address.
LAN Add/Edit Interface
By selecting the Add or Edit buttons the LAN network interface can be configured, or additional LAN
interfaces can be created.

This option allows the pMDDL5824 to participate in the Spanning Tree
protocol with other devices to prevent local loops. By default this is
disabled.
