b. Dynamic IP addressing (DHCP and Auto-IP):
If the S1 switch is set at 0, then the drive is in Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
mode. The AKD PDMM will acquire its IP address from an external DHCP server if one is
present in the network.
If a DHCP server is not present, then the AKD PDMM will assume an automatic private IP
address of the form 169.254.0.xx. If your PC is directly connected to the AKD PDMM and set
to obtain an IP address automatically in the TCP/IP settings, then a connection is established
between the devices using compatible automatically generated addresses. This connection
can require as long as a minute to complete.
c. Displaying the IP Address
Press the B3 button to display the IP menu item, then press B2 to activate the selection.
The IP address will then be displayed on the 7-segment LED. If an Ethernet cable is
connected at power-on, the IP address will automatically be displayed on the 7-segment
LED during the power-on boot sequence.

d. Changing the IP address:
If the AKD PDMM is not powered on, then you can change the IP address using the
rotary switch, and the change takes effect upon AKD PDMM restart. You can also
change the IP address while the AKD PDMM is powered on. If you move the rotary
switch while 24 V logic power is supplied to the drive, then you must unplug the network
cable from the AKD PDMM for three seconds or longer. This action will reset the
address and the new address will take effect when the cable is plugged in again.
2. Connect the AKD PDMM to the Network
After you have assigned the AKD PDMM IP address, you have two connection options:
direct connection or hub/switch/router connection.
Option A: Direct Connection
1. Connect the AKD PDMM directly to the PC using a standard Ethernet (straight)
patch cable. You can also use a crossover cable, since the drive detects the cable
type automatically. Use static IP addressing for a direct connection.
