Connect the P308 to the system via the LINK port on the front of the module. This can be either via

The module will request an IP address from a DHCP server. It will make 4 attempts and then back
off for a period before trying again. The back off period will extend for each failed attempt. The
right LED (yellow) on the LINK port will toggle on/off every 5 seconds while waiting for an IP
