NOTE: DHCP does not have to be enabled if
you have the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Primary Gateway se
ttings. (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
D
HCP 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 Ether
