Using this menu, you can:
• Query the DHCP server for a valid IP address, or turn off this feature.
• Set a static IP address for the E2, along with a subnet mask and g ateway. This feature is available only if DHCP is turned Off.
• View the E2’s IP address.
If there is no internet connection, or if a DHC P server has not been found, the IP address is 000.000.000.000. In this case, the
E2 ignores the Ethernet port.
• View the Media Ac cess Control (MAC) address of the E2’s Ethernet port.
Query the DHCP server
In the Ethernet submenu, the default setting for DHCP is On. When DHCP is turned on, the E2 automatically queries the DHCP
server for a valid IP address. If the E2 receives an IP address, that address is displayed in the Ethernet submenu.
It c an take several seconds to obtain an address from the server. During this time, the S EL bu tton remains lit.
When DHCP is off, you c an manually enter a static IP address, along with a sub net mask and gateway, in t he Set Static I P submenu.
Consult your network administrator for a valid IP address, subnet mask and gateway.
Setting a static IP Address
When a DHCP server is not available, you can set the E2’s IP address, using the Set IP submenu shown in the following illustration.
