There are four methods of setting the IP address of the unit, each of which is
described in the subsections that follow:
• Set an IP address through DHCP (Primary default).
• If DHCP is not available, the unit can assign itself an IP address in the Auto-IP
(dynamic link local addressing) range (Secondary default).
• Use the serial communications port to manually assign an IP address.
• Set the IP address through the Web page interface.
NOTE: The M130 Ethernet Option has been designed and tested to be fully
compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0. This is the only browser supported by
Elgar Electronics Corporation (EEC) in its Ethernet-based products. Earlier versions of
Explorer (or browsers by other companies) may or may not work correctly, and as
such, are not supported by EEC.

DHCP
Before beginning this procedure, get access to the DHCP server or see the network
administrator to get the IP address assigned to the power supply.
NOTE: The power supply is VXI-11 compliant, so even without access to the DHCP
server, it is still possible to discover the IP address assigned to the power supply
with programs such as Agilent’s I/O Library Suite or National Instrument’s NI-VISA.
1. Start with the power supply in the power-off state.
2. Connect a RJ-45 network cable from the power supply to the network with the
DHCP server.
3. Power on the power supply and allow the power supply to perform its
initialization.
