3.4.2 IP Address Configuration Menu
The radios use a local IP address to support remote management and
serial device services. The IP address of a radio can be set as a static IP
address or as a dynamic IP address. When static IP addressing is used,
the user must manually configure the IP address and other parameters.
When dynamic addressing is used, the radio uses a DHCP Client process
to obtain an IP address from a DHCP Server, along with other parame-
ters such as a net mask and a default gateway.
