STOP | Use caution when restoring the TCP/IP
configuration option. Only one machine can have a
specific IP address on the network. Restoring the
same IP address to more than one machine can
cause problems on your network. It is
recommended to restore TCP/IP configuration only
to the machine from which it was originally backed
up.
After an IP address is restored, the machine must be
reset in order for the setting to take effect. Be sure
the machine is not welding when you reset.

you choose to restore, the Welding Power Source

source is not currently welding.
