the IP address must be entered manually at each computer sys-
tem. DHCP lets a network administrator supervise and distribute
IP addresses from a central point. The purpose of DHCP is to
provide the automatic (dynamic) allocation of IP client configu -
rations for a specific time period (called a lease period) and to
eliminate the work necessary to administer a large IP network.
To manually configure the IP address of the controller, move the
cursor bar to the Main menu Ethernet Configuration Function
item and then press the Enter key. The Ethernet Configura -
tion menu appears on the screen. Move the cursor bar to DHCP
Function item, then press Enter key to show the DHCP setting.
Select the “Disabled’ or ‘Enabled” option to enable or disable the
DHCP function.

5.5.7.2 Local IP address
If you intend to set up your client computers manually, make
sure that the assigned IP address is in the same range of your
default router address and that it is unique to your private net-
work. However we would highly recommend that if you have a
network of computers and the option to assign your TCP/IP cli-
ent configurations automatically, please do. An IP address allo -
cation scheme will reduce the time it takes to set-up client com-
puters and eliminate the possibilities of administrative errors.
To manually configure the IP address of the controller, move the
cursor bar to the Main menu Ethernet Configuration Function
item and then press the Enter key. The Ethernet Configuration
menu appears on the screen.
