1: The DX80 device IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.

2: When using an SMTP domain name in the e-mail setup page instead of an SMTP IP address, enter at least one static DNS server IP
address. The DNS server addresses are supplied by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or network administrator.

3. Select a dynamic DNS service and enter in the device’s host name, the DDNS user name, and password.

DNS Server

To use domain names instead of a static IP address, supply the IP address of at least one DNS server (Static DNS1 or DNS2). The DNS
server, at a static IP address, is a service that keeps track of every Internet domain name and what IP address is associated with each
domain. Changes to the DNS server address take effect immediately.

DHCP

Set the IP address to 255.255.255.255 to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain an IP address upon power-up. The
IP address change takes effect on the next power cycle or when the Restart button is clicked on the Config File page. When using DHCP,
set the DNS1 and DNS2 addresses to 0.0.0.0 because the DHCP supplies the DNS addresses.

Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS allows the domain name data held in a name server to be updated when IP addresses change. For example, the Internet
domain name www.bannerengineering.com can be assigned to a computer with a dynamic, or changing, IP address. Instead of every
computer on the Internet tracking all IP address changes, a Dynamic DNS service tracks the changes and directs Internet traffic to the
correct IP address. Most consumer ISPs use dynamic IP addresses. The Dynamic DNS settings are required when using a dynamic IP
address for your connection to the Internet.

Reboot the system if the Change IP button was clicked.
