6.0 Operation mode
This chapter describes how to configure the way that your device connects to the
Internet. We will discuss the options in “Operation Mode”:
- Router ( Selected mode as default setting )

In the following instructions we will inform you how to setup your router as Access
Point or Repeater.

provide a static IP address to our network adapter, while the DHCP server from
the EM4720 will be disabled. If you did not have a static IP address you cannot

your router. We will use Windows 10 to show you the instructions how to add a
static IP address to your network adapter.

EM4720 via LAN port to your LAN port of your PC or Laptop by using a network
cable.
