Use Auto IP with a directly connected module

If the module is connected directly to a computer (laptop or PC) and is not connected to a
network (no network hub, router, or switch is connected), you can use the module's AutoIP. to
connect and program the module without knowing the IP.
Notice!
If you cannot connect with the AutoIP option, you might need to change the web browser
configuration so that it does not use a proxy server. Also ensure the computer has AutoIP
enabled. Refer to the browser's online help for instructions on disabling proxy service.
If the module's IP address is not recorded in the host computer's ARP table and you do not
know the address, follow the steps below.
