Setting the eLoad Ethernet Parameters
You need to set the eLoad Ethernet IP address first. The eLoad IP address uniquely identifies the load to other
devices on the network, and is required for the eLoad to communicate over the network.
1. Ethernet Network settings: DHCP supported. The purpose of a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
server is to issue an IP address to a network device that requests an address.
2. The IP address enables the device to communicate with the network. This is similar to personal computer Plug &
Play concept.
The following procedure presumes that your eLoad has the Ethernet option and you have connected the eLoad to
your network.
If your network supports DHCP server, do the following:
1) Power on the eLoad
2) Press the LOCAL key on the front panel, and rotate the encoder  to scroll to the "SYSTEM" menu option.
3) Press ENTER to select.
4) Choose "ETHERNET" and Press ENTER to select option.
5) Select "ADDRESS" and press ENTER to select option.
6) Enter the IP address as "0.0.0.0" if it is not and press ENTER.
7) Choose "NETMASK" by rotating the encoder  to scroll and press ENTER to select option.
8) Enter the value as "0.0.0.0" if it is not and press ENTER to set value.
9) Choose "GATEWAY" by rotating the encoder  to scroll and press ENTER to select.
10) Enter the default gateway IP address as "0.0.0.0" if it is not and press ENTER to set desired address.
To Exit, press LOCAL to go back to the start-up screen
Note: Because the DHCP server assigns a dynamic IP address, the value of the eLoad IP address maybe different
each time you power on the eLoad. However, if you intend to remotely control the eLoad, a static IP address is more
convenient, as the eLoad IP address does not change, making it easier for remote devices to access the eLoad
If your network does not support DHCP server, you must enter the Ethernet settings manually which you obtained
from your network administrator.
Note: The following procedure presumes that your eLoad has the Ethernet option and you have connected the eLoad
to your network.
If your network does not support DHCP server, do the following:
1)
Power on the eLoad
