addresses on a LAN with an existing DHCP server may cause problems throughout a network. It is recommended you disable other DHCP serves on the network if you plan on using this product on the network.

IP address conflict

When you see the message box prompted for IP address conflict, this means two or more workstations has the same IP address. If you have setup the device as a DHCP server, please run the "winipcfg" utility to “release” all current configuration first, then “renew” the IP information again. If the DHCP function is disabled and static IP addresses are assigned to each workstation, please double check each workstation’s IP address for duplicate IP.
