1.Log on to the E2 controller

2.Navigate to the TCP/IP setup screen (Alt + T)

NOTE: DHCP does not have to be enabled if you have the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Primary Gateway settings. (Contact your IT

Network Administrator for all IP configuration infor- mation.) If you do not have the IP configuration set- tings, and there is a DHCP server on the network, set DHCP Enabled to Yes and it will retrieve the informa- tion from the server and populate those fields. E2 con- trollers must all have the same Ethernet Subnet in order to communicate box-to-box.

NOTE: If unsure of any tab settings, it is rec- ommended that the default settings be used.

NOTE: The site name is the unique identifier for the site that will allow the controllers within the same group to share data.
