before the IP SETUP - DHCP menu will be displayed. The 

values shown are automatically assigned by the DHCP server 

and cannot be changed.

Take note of the IP address, it is necessary to remotely 

connect to the 8310 RSA through a web browser.

Viewing Automatically Assigned DHCP Network Settings

To view the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, 

DNS-1 & DNS-2 that has been assigned by the 

DHCP servier, perform the following steps:

1.  From the
