Dynamic IP Address

In-Sight devices that support Ethernet configuration can be set to obtain an IP address dynamically if a DHCP server is available. In this case, any In-Sight Ethernet device can send out a request and receive its network settings (such as an IP address, DNS server, subnet mask, gateway and domain name) automatically. When a large number of devices are present, this setup is often preferred to entering network settings manually for every device. After initial setup, disabling DHCP on the device(s) and assigning a static IP address is strongly recommended because it prevents intermittent DHCP traffic.
