Network Details
Most computer networks provide for both automatic and manual configuration of network devices and the PF120
can accomodate both.
Configuration Method
Here you can set the network configuration to either DHCP (default) or Static. DHCP simplifies the management of
IP addresses on networks. No two hosts can have the same IP address, so assigning them manually can potentially
lead to errors. If your network is set up for DHCP, this is generally the best configuration to choose.
If you do choose to go with a Static IP address, you’ll need to add the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway
Address information according to the requirements of your network.
