1. On connection to the network, if the machine's 'IP METHOD' is 'AUTO' the machine will attempt to
automatically set the IP address and Subnet Mask from a boot server such as DHCP or BOOTP. If a boot
server cannot be found an APIPA IP address will be allocated, such as 169.254.[001-254].[000-255]. If the
'IP METHOD' of the machine is set to 'STATIC' you will need to manually enter an IP address from the
