Setting Ethernet
Ethernet is the method used by the autoloader to access a network. With an Ethernet connection, you can remotely access
the autoloader over the network. To use the Ethernet connection, you must define the following:
A dynamic or static IP address for the autoloader (required)
A subnet mask (required for static IP)
An IP gateway (optional)
A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) server (optional)
A time server, or set the time and time zone manually (optional)
Setting the IP Address
An IP address is the address of any device attached to a network. Each device must have a unique IP address. IP addresses
are written as four sets of numbers separated by periods ranging from 0.0.0.0 up to and including 255.255.255.255.
IP addresses are either permanent or dynamically assigned. A permanent, or static, address remains the same each time the
device connects to the network. A dynamic address may change each time the device connects to the network server using
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
To set a dynamic IP address:
1. From the main menu, scroll to
Configuration
, and then press
Enter

2. From the
Configuration
menu, scroll to
