Hub IP

address so the IP-based modem can gather ping replies
from the hub and properly reply the Lock status to the
ACU.
(For satellite modems that communicate with the ACU by
RS232, this setting is not used.)

MAC Address
- Used to enter the ACU’s MAC address -
physical (hardware, Media Access Control) address.

Dynamic Network Parameters
Dynamic settings apply if the ACU, laptop, modem, and other devices are connected
to a router (the ACU is in DHCP client mode), where the router distributes the IP
addresses dynamically. These parameters enable configuring the embedded DHCP
client/server.
