Local Ip Configuration; Bridge - Cal Amp Phantom II Operating Manual

6.1 Configuration
DHCP: Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol may be
used by networked devices
(Clients) to obtain unique
network addresses from a DHCP
server.
Advantage:
Ensures unique IP addresses are
assigned, from a central point
(DHCP server) within a network.
Disadvantage:
The address of a particular
device is not 'known' and is also
subject to change.
STATIC addresses must be
tracked (to avoid duplicate use),
yet they may be permanently
assigned to a device.

6.1.4.1 Local IP Configuration

6.1.4.1.1 Bridge

This submenu, along with Radio Configuration settings, are the
minimum which must be considered when implementing any
Phantom II network.
It must be determined if the unit is to be either:

assigned an IP address (by a DHCP server), or

given a static (unchanging) IP address.
Once the above is ascertained, the items within this submenu may
be configured.

If 'static' is selected, the three following fields (see Image 6F) are to
be manually populated with values which will suit the network/
devices to which the Phantom II is connected.
