In the Text Interface, these parameters are accessed via the Network Configuration
menu (Figure 5.9.) In the Web Browser Interface, these parameters can be found by
clicking the "Network Parameters" link on the left hand side of the screen to display the
Network Parameters menu.
Note: The IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway Address and DHCP status
cannot be changed via the Web Browser Interface. In order to change these
parameters, you must access the AFS-16 via the Text Interface.

• Subnet Mask: (Default = 255.255.255.0.)

is "On", the AFS-16 will perform a DHCP request. Note that in the Text Interface, the
MAC address for the AFS-16 is listed on the Network Status Screen.
(Default = Off.)
Note: Before configuring this feature, make certain your DHCP server is set up
to assign a known, fixed IP address. You will need this new IP address in order
to reestablish a network connection with the AFS-16 unit.
