most common configuration is DHCP, which assigns the IP addresses dynamically.
If you are using a static IP address, you will need to get the full configuration from your ISP.
Dynamic IP

Static IP
Controller IP address
Controller subnet mask
Default gateway IP address
Primary/Secondary DNS Server IP addresses
PPPoE

Note:
1. The Controller’s default LAN IP address setting is ‘192.168.1.1’.
2. The Controller’s default LAN subnet mask setting is ‘255.255.255.0’.
