the Static IP in the field is available before applying changes, as this may cause the unit to become unreachable. The
factory default is DHCP.
To use Static IP, assign an IP address in your Router/DHCP table before connecting the X-1605 to the Network. The unit
Static IP Address
can also receive a DHCP address, and then can use that same address as a Static once the DHCP mode is changed to
Static and a reset/reboot is performed.

Enter the IP address you would like to send Syslog messages to. Another Application or device will need to listen for these
UDP messages at that address to display them. This feature is enabled/disabled by the Remote Logging setting found on
the Basic tab. This log will show calls, connection events, and any network errors. This is crucial for Security as the log can
