Connect Over Ethernet
Before You Begin
• Does a security policy in your network restrict DHCP address assignments to known MAC
addresses? If so, locate the MAC address printed on a sticker that is affixed to your DMP. Then,
share this address with your security policy administrator.
• Does your DMP support wireless networking? If so, consider whether you might prefer to use that
method instead of this one.
Procedure
Step 1 Plug one end of a standard Ethernet cable into the corresponding socket on your DMP.
Step 2 Plug the other end of this cable into a network hub, network switch, or router whose network uses DHCP
to allocate IP addresses dynamically.
Step 3 Stop. You have completed this procedure.
