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)
• 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 5
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 Ethernet, and then press Enter.
3 From the
Ethernet submenu, scroll to Set IP, and then press Enter.
4 Scroll to
DHCP, and then press Enter. Please reboot to use DHCP
displays on the LCD screen.

displays on the LCD. Power Off displays on the

address is changed.
