taken. It is either the values of configured option module parameters
or from DCP-DHCP.

IMPORTANT

To update the option module, the IP Address Selection Jumper must be
connected across pins 2 and 3. This can be easily verified by viewing the
value of read-only Device Parameter 04 - [Net Addr Src], which must
be ‘1’ (Config). If the value is ‘0’ (DCP-DHCP), you must change the IP
Address Selection Jumper from being across pins 1 and 2 to being across
pins 2 and 3.
