Assign an IP address using DHCP

You can assign an IP address using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). DHCP is an Internet protocol for automating the configuration of computers that use IP. You can use DHCP to automatically assign IP addresses and deliver IP stack configuration parameters.

All products that have a cellular (WAN) interface ship with static IP address for the Ethernet port of 192.168.1.1 and DHCP server enabled by default. All products that only have an Ethernet or Wi-Fi (LAN) interface ship with DHCP client enabled by default.

If desired, set up a permanent entry for the Digi device device on a DHCP server. While this is not necessary to obtain an IP address via DHCP, setting up a permanent entry saves the IP address when the device is rebooted.
