The procedure below describes how to configure a computer running on Windows 7 OS to
automatically obtain its IP address (from a DHCP server, for example, MP-20x).
Note: For computers running Windows, the setup procedure is generally unnecessary
as Windows' default network settings are to obtain an IP address automatically.

to follow the setup procedure to verify that all
communication parameters are valid and that the physical cable connections are correct.
To configure a computer running Windows 7 for dynamic IP addressing:
1. Click on your Start menu and select Control Panel.
2. Click Network and Internet.
3. Click Network and Sharing Center.
4. Click Change adapter settings, located on the left-side menu.
5. Right-click on the Local Area Connection icon and select Properties; the 'Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties’ dialog box is displayed.
6. Double-click on the appropriate Internet Protocol version.
