<p dir="ltr">I always just edit /etc/network/interfaces rather than using any built in utilities. It's especially helpful if you use different distributions across multiple platforms as it's all uniform. </p>
<p dir="ltr">No need to learn/use each distro's own utility, plus you can do exactly what you want instead of being limited by what the utility will let you do or will do without you knowing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Like most things in Linux there is usually more than one way to do things and it comes down to personal preference.</p>

<div>
<div>
<div>I now have what I think is a working system , </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>For some reason it fails if I put in a static <span>IP</span> , but if I run with <span>DHCP</span> it finds the mic and runs </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If I tell it to pull down the info from the server for he node it dies</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I need it on a static <span>IP</span> for port <span>fowarding</span> , just like my other <span>VoIP</span> systems </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>And I did do the info on the web portal to the best I can, I entered in all the info it requested </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I even got to install your device now , this will be here Tuesday because of our long weekend </div>
<div><br></div>
