(DHCP). Note: We prefer the use of a static IP address for the KT-NCC since the routers have to be configured to forward ports with static addresses. When sites that are distant from the network are protected by routers, a public address will be used for communication between the EntraPass server and the remote KT-NCC controller(s). -
