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
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
server. 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, click Configuration, then press ENTER. The
Configuration submenu opens.
2 Scroll to Ethernet, then press ENTER. The Ethernet submenu opens.
3 Scroll to Set IP, then press ENTER. The Set IP screen opens.
4 Scroll to DHCP, then press ENTER. “Please reboot to use DHCP” appears on
the LCD screen.

Shutdown wait 60 sec” appears on the LCD, then release the button.
“Power Off” appears on the LCD, then the autoloader shuts off.
6 Press the power button again to turn on the autoloader. The IP address is
changed.
