Appendix A: Setting the IP Address
Although most MC Control users will never have to set a static Internet Proto-
col (IP) address, the MC Control does allow it in the rare cases that require it.
Normally the MC Control uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
to obtain its IP address, typically from a router. The MC Control reverts to
link-local addressing to generate an IP address if a DHCP server is not found
on the network, such as when an MC Control is connected directly to a com-
puter with an Ethernet cable. Both of these methods of obtaining IP ad-
dresses can be overridden by supplying a static IP address, which the MC
Control uses in all cases when powered on.
CAUTION: Attempt this only if you have prior experience configuring a network.
To set a static IP address:
1. While holding down the PAGE W and PAGE X keys simultaneously, press
and release the POWER button.
The Network Setup screen appears on the Touchscreen.

2. Touch the parameter labeled Use DHCP (Obtain IP Address automatically).
This deselects the parameter and displays the IP Address and Subnet Mask
fields on theTouchscreen.
