Notes
Connecting Ethernet to devices with DHCP may take more time in some networks.
To connect with a randomly assigned IP by DHCP, specify the device DNS name (if available) using the
command “NAME”. You can also get an assigned IP by direct connection to USB or RS-232 protocol port
if available.
For proper settings consult your network administrator.
