Setting Network Options

When you originally installed the autoloader, you set the Ethernet configurations through the front LCD

panel (also see "

IPv6 Addendum

"). However, you can modify them through the RMU. The options include

Current Network Parameters, Set IP, and Set Network Configuration. To change the Ethernet

configurations:

To view the Current Network Parameters:

1. From any page, click the Configuration heading. The Configuration screen displays.

2. From the Configuration menu, click Networking.

The Current Network Parameters area displays the current IP address, MAC address, and the

speed setting for the Ethernet connection.

In the Set IP section, if a check mark appears in the box next to DHCP, the dynamic IP address option is

enabled. This means that with every reset of the system, the IP address may change depending on the

network administrator's settings.

To Set IP address:

1. Clear the check box to remove the check mark from the DHCP field, if applicable.

2. In the IP address fields, type the static IP address using the key to move from box to box.

3. If no check mark appears in the box next to DHCP, the static IP address option is enabled. To

change a static IP address, type in the new address in the IP address fields using the key to

move from box to box.

4. To change the IP address from a static address to a dynamic address, click the box next to DHCP.

To Set Network Configuration:

1. To change the values of the subnet mask, gateway, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

server, or the time server, type in the new address, using the key to move from box to box.

2. Click Submit.
