NOTE: The commissioning computer, dedicated control server on-
site or third-party control system may require setting a static IP
address. Be advised that some routers may present a Gateway
discovery issue when the Multicast Discovery device is set to a static
IP. Coordinate with the Network Administrator for the appropriate
network settings & requirements. Allowing dynamic IP addresses or
setting MAC address reservations may resolve this issue.
If a static IP address is required, obtain the IP address from the
Network Administrator.
