Using DHCP to assign network addresses

If your network is equipped with a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server you can
have it automatically assign the IP Addresses to the computer and other devices on the network
including the GERBER EDGE FX. When you turn on the equipment it will automatically load
the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the server. The DHCP server automatically allocates an
unused IP Address from the IP Address pool.
By default DHCP is disabled on the GERBER EDGE FX to allow you to assign a static network
address. You can activate DHCP from the GERBER EDGE FX keypad, or from the web interface
(if network connectivity has already been established). See "Modifying Network Settings" for
instructions on using the web interface.
Note: If you KNOW that you are on a network that uses a DHCP server then proceed with
this procedure. If you are unsure, contact your network administrator or IT professional.
