addresses supplied by a DHCP server, set the rotary switch to “F”. When the drive is connected to
the network and powered on, it will obtain an IP address and a subnet mask from the server that is
compatible with your PC. The only catch is that you won’t know what address the server assigns
to your drive. Step-Servo Quick Tuner software can find your drive using the Drive Discovery
feature, as long as your network isn’t too large. With the drive connected to the network and
powered on, select Drive Discovery from the Drive Tools menu.

Normally, Drive Discovery will only detect one network interface card (NIC), and will select it
automatically. If you are using a laptop and have both wireless and wired network connections, a
second NIC may appear.
