    There are two ways to get the address, one is DHCP, and the other is manually. To use DHCP, please ensure that the router or switch has enabled the DHCP service. This method is simple and convenient, but the IP obtained by DHCP changes continuously, and you cannot directly know what IP address the encoder gets.

    Routing strategy The object of operation of routing strategy is the data packet, which is for routing release and reception. According to the needs, the data packet transmission path can be changed according to a certain strategy. When the device is connected to multiple network links, the different data link can be sent according to the appointed network link through designated strategy, which improves the utilization efficiency of the link.
