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 for static IP)
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
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.
To set a static 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 Static IP, and then press Enter. The cursor automatically appears at the first digit.
5. At each position of the IP address, use the up and down arrows to change the value of each digit. Press Enter to
advance the cursor to the next digit.
When you have advanced through all of the digits of the IP address, the autoloader displays Enter to save.
NOTE: If you make a mistake, press Escape to backspace to the digit you want to change.
