Figure 10: Static IP Configuration
The information displayed on the IP configuration screen depends on the DHCP setting. Whether or not you can change the
configuration also depends on the DHCP setting. Changes are only made after pressing F1. F4 will back you out without
making any changes to the settings.

IP Configuration Display with DHCP Off
If DHCP is off then the currently configured static IP information will be displayed. When DHCP is off the IP address, the
gateway, and the mask can be changed.

IP Configuration Display with DHCP On
If DHCP is on and the MPC 128 has successfully been assigned an address from the DHCP server, then that current
