Chapter 6: Setting IP Addresses
Most MC Transport users will never have to set a static Internet Protocol (IP) address but in the rare cases that require it, follow
the instructions in this section.
Normally MC Transport uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain its IP address, typically from a router.
MC Transport reverts to link-local addressing to generate an IP address if a DHCP server is not found on the network, such as
when MC Transport is connected directly to a computer with an Ethernet cable. Both of these methods of obtaining IP addresses
can be overridden by supplying a static IP address, which MC Transport will then use in all cases when powered on.
To set a static IP address:
1 While holding down the leftmost two Soft Keys simultaneously, press and release the POWER switch. Continue to hold the Soft
Keys down until the display lights.
2 Turn the Jog Wheel clockwise to change the underlined value from yes (default) to no.
The + and – keys on the Numeric Keypad can be used instead of the Jog Wheel to decrease or increase the value, respectively.
3 Press the ENTER key to move the cursor to the next screen, in this case the first field of the IP Address screen.
4 Press the ENTER key to cycle the cursor back to a previous field or screen to change a parameter to a different value.
5 Use the Jog Wheel to set the first field of the IP Address. Alternately, press the + or – keys on the Numeric Keypad to increment
or decrement the value, respectively. You can also enter the number directly using the Numeric Keypad.
6 Press the ENTER key to move the cursor to the second field.
7 Rotate the Jog Wheel to set the second field of the IP address.
8 Set the remaining IP Address fields.
Attempt this only if you have prior experience configuring a network.
Use DHCP yes (left); Use DHCP no (right)
