  4. If you want the DSM16 to obtain its IP address dynamically from your DHCP server:
    • Select the DHCP option (default setting, as above)
  5. ​If you want the DSM16 to use a static IP address:
    • Select the Static option
    • Enter the IP Address (example above is 192.168.1.202)
    • Enter the Network Mask (default is blank, example above is 255.255.255.0)
    • Enter the Primary DNS (default is blank, example above is 192.168.1.254) – If your router can relay DNS requests, specify the IP address of your router in the Primary DNS field.  Otherwise, enter the IP address of your preferred DNS server (eg. 8.8.8.8 for the Google DNS server)
    • Optionally enter the Secondary DNS​
  6. Press the Apply Changes button
  7. Confirm that you want to change the network parameters.  If you changed the IP address of the interface while using the same interface to access the Administration page, you must reopen the page using the new IP address.

You may select the Defaults button to populate the list with the IP address of the current Primary Server IP Address configured in the Gateway / Call Server page (see DSM16 – Gateway – Call Server). Or you may add specific NTP servers to the list box, one IP address or one host name per line.
