3.1 IP Address
An IP address is an identifier for computers or devices on a TCP/IP network. Make

IP addresses are made up of four numbers from 0 to 255, separated by periods.DHCP -

Precidia units come configured with the IP address and subnet mask set at 0.0.0.0,
which automatically enables DHCP configuration. If you are using a DHCP server,
leave all
Ethernet Settings
at zero (0.0.0.0). The settings will always appear as zeros
in the menu regardless of the values assigned by the DHCP server.
The DHCP assigned IP addresses can be viewed in the unit’s System Status. Follow
the steps in 6.4, Display System Status to view the status information.
The first Local address listed under Network Routing is the IP address of the unit.
To enable DHCP configuration:
1
Choose Ethernet Settings from the
Device Settings
menu. (If the IP Address and
Subnet Mask are both 0.0.0.0, then DHCP is already enabled.)
2
Choose IP Address from the
Ethernet Settings
sub-menu.

Type 0.0.0.0 at the prompt and press Enter .
4
Choose Subnet Mask from the
Ethernet Settings
sub-menu.

The settings obtained from the DHCP server may change if the unit is reset,
