Setting the IP address

Using DHCP to assign an IP address automatically

1. Confirm that the network to which you are connecting the unit has a DHCP server.

   Notes:

   • If DHCP mode is selected, but there is no DHCP server on the network, the unit will be unable to communicate with other devices.
   • In this example, the DHCP server is provided by the router. Ensure that your network is using a router. A plain switch will not provide the required DHCP server for the example.

2. Navigate to the Network screen.
3. Under Local Area Connection x (where x is the interface number), in the IP Configuration Method list, click DHCP.
4. Click Set to confirm the action.

   You will be asked to log on.

5. Specify your username and password. The default username is superuser; it has no password.
