The Network Detective Inspector comes configured for use in DHCP environments where IP addresses are dynamically configured.   This document provides two (2) methods for configuring the Inspector for use in environments that do not support DHCP, as well as environments where you desire the Inspector to have a static IP address.

The first method allow you to configure the IP address remotely.   The danger is if the Inspector is configured improperly, it will no longer be accessible via a network connection.   If that occurs, the USB methodology must be used.   The USB methodology requires access to the physical device.
