Configuring the Device IP Address
When a DHCP server is active on the same network to which Smart 216/232 IP is

recommend using MAC address reservations in the DHCP server to ensure that the IP
address of the Smart 216/232 IP will not be changed.
Consult your Network Administrator regarding the use of the DHCP.
