Setting the Static IP Address

If the "Use Static IP address" radio button is selected, the Static IP Address is the IP address used by the ROVLe. Ensure that it is unique and on the proper subnet. Discussions of subnets are beyond the scope of this manual.

If the "Get my IP address automatically from DHCP" radio button is selected, the ROVLe will try to get an address from a DHCP server. If this fails, the fallback IP address is used.

No netmask is necessary.

The Cerulean SonarView application can force the ROVLe to accept a new static IP address, even if you have accidentally set the static IP to an inaccessible address.

The ROVLe will not allow you to set an address starting with 0, 127 or 255. This is the nanny state at its worst.
