Auto mode
In this mode, the machine will scan the network for a DHCP server, if it can find one, and if the DHCP server
is configured to allocate an IP address to the machine, then the IP address supplied by the DHCP server will
be used. If no DHCP server is available, the machine will scan for a BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is
available, and it is configured correctly, the machine will take its IP address from the BOOTP server. If a
BOOTP server is not available, the machine will scan for a RARP server. If a RARP server also does not
answer, the machine will use an APIPA address, see Using APIPA to configure the IP address on page 90.
This whole process can take 2 to 3 minutes so we recommend printing a Network Configuration List to confirm
the network settings are set correctly.
Static mode
In this mode the machine's IP address must be manually assigned. Once entered the IP address is locked to
the assigned address.
