The IP address must be set to a unique value in the network.
Subnet Mask
A subnet mask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that are assigned
for the host part.
Default Gateway
The gateway address, or router, allows communication to other LAN segments. The
gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same LAN
segment as the unit. The gateway address must be within the local network.

Enter the IP address of the DNS server. If the device is DHCP enabled, the DHCP
server provides the DNS server IP address, which will override this configured value.
