CONFIGURING A STATIC IP ADDRESS ON ETHERNET INTERFACE
This is not the default configuration for the Ethernet interface. It is important to verify that the address being
entered is unique to the device when on the network.
The Airborne Device does not support the ability to enable DHCP on the WLAN and Ethernet interfaces
simultaneously (when in client mode). Only one may have DHCP enabled at a time. The other interface
must be configured to use a static IP address.
