  • Page 8: Configuring The Settings

    Configuring the Settings The device is set to DHCP by default, so it will try to automatically obtain an IP address. If that fails, it will use the default fallback IP address, 192.168.1.20. Proceed to the appropriate section, “DHCP” “Fallback IP Address”: DHCP Use one of the following methods:...
