Using Static IP Addressing

If your Internet service provider’s Encapsulation setting is either

1483 Bridged or 1483 Routed, the X3 can be set for either a

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) address (also

known as a dynamic IP address) or for a static IP address.
Because most Internet service providers use DHCP, the X3 is

set for dynamic IP addressing by default.
There is typically an extra charge for a static IP address, and you

usually have to make a special request to get one.

Important!
If you do not know what static IP addressing is or why you would
use it, you most likely do not need to change the default setting.

Only advanced users who specifically want to use static IP

addressing and/or those users whose IP provider specifically

instructed them to use static IP addressing should change this

setting.
