  • Page 16: Connecting To A Network Without A Dhcp Server (True Static Ip)

    When connecting to a network without a DHCP server, the network does not assign an IP address to your NVS-30 device. In this case, you can either manually assign a static IP address to your NVS-30 device or use the device’s default static IP.
  • Page 17 Note: The default IP address is not recommended for a traditional network setting. If you wish to use the NVS-30 in True Static IP mode over a network, after the initial setup we recommend that you change the static IP address of the NVS-30 device to an address that is more suitable to your network.
