Trouble connecting to RPS: 'Connect via: IP Direct'.

IP Direct requires both the PC and IP communicator to use DHCP. Therefore, both are waiting to be assigned an IP
address from the server. Because no server is available when connected using only an Ethernet cable, neither obtains an
IP address. The IP communicator falls back to its default address (169.254.1.1) and the PC falls back to the Auto
configuration IPv4 address of
IP Direct connection can work. (see the section: How to connect to RPS using: 'Connect Via: IP Direct' for more details)
See figure 26 to verify proper addressing in the PC.
