The following options areavailable: None (Static IP) - This option requires you manually specify thenetwork parameters.This is the recommended option because the KX II-101-V2 is aninfrastructure device, and its IP address should not change.Select this option if you want to ensure redundant failovercapabilities should the primary Ethernet port (or the switch/routerto which it is connected) fail. If it fails, KX II-101-V2 fails over tothe secondary network port with the same IP address, ensuringthere is not interruption. DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used bynetworked computers (clients) to obtain unique IP addressesand other parameters from a DHCP server.With this option, network parameters are assigned by the DHCPserver.If DHCP is used, enter the Preferred host name (DHCP only).
