Network Menu
IP Configuration To specify how the digital sender network interface card
obtains its TCP/IP configuration. Choices:
●
MANUAL.
From the control panel.
●
BOOTP
(Boot Protocol) or
DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
Automatically from the network (the IP Address, IP Subnet Mask, and IP
Gateway parameters are ignored). A corresponding server must be running
and properly configured. The next time you open the configuration menu,
you see the values that the network interface card automatically
discovered. See “
Assigning an IP address to the digital sender” on page 17
for details.
Two things happen if you configured the IP address using
BOOTP or DHCP and later change the IP address at the
control panel: (1) the IP address that was assigned is released
and (2) the setting for this parameter changes to

Changing this value causes the digital sender to shut down
and restart.
