See Configuring a Dynamic IP Connection for a Wi-Fi Network on the PAX Terminal.
Static IP connection: Description:
The static IP connection uses a single IP address that you specify in the terminal settings.; Benefits:
Improves network reliability, enhances security, and enables easier device management.; Prerequisite:
Before starting this configuration, the recommendation is to consult your IT department to obtain information that is required to configure this type of network connection.; Get started:
