The IP address could change, but normally won't. • DCHP Client - Reserved IP Address - Select this if the PC is set to be a DCHP client, and you wish to guarantee that the TEW431BRP will always allocate the same IP Address to this PC. Enter the required IP address. Only the last field is required; the other fields must match the TEW-431BRP. • Fixed IP Address - Select this if the PC is using a Fixed (Static) IP address. Enter the IP address allocated to the PC. (The PC must be configured to use this IP address.) 66
