Page 15: How To Communicate With The If2
How to Communicate with the IF2 By default, the IF2 is configured to be a DHCP client and accepts offers from any DHCP server. Therefore, the IF2 will work out of the box if you connect it to your network and use a DHCP server to assign it an IP address. In this case, you config- ure the IF2 using the web browser interface from a desktop PC. - Page 16 3. If DHCP is enabled, press D. DHCP is disabled and the Ethernet Configuration Options screen appears. 4. To set the IP address, press 1 and enter the static IP address in the entry field. 5. Press Enter. The static IP address is set. If you do not need to set the subnet mask or IP router values, you can now continue to configure the IF2 through the web browser interface.
