ProSoft PLX50 Configuration Utility. This software can be downloaded from:

3.2 Network Parameters
The module will have DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) enabled as
factory default. Thus, a DHCP server must be used to provide the module with the
required network parameters (IP address, subnet mask, etc.). There are a number of
DHCP utilities available, however it is recommended that the DHCP server in the
PLX50 Configuration Utility be used.
Within the PLX50 Configuration Utility environment, the DHCP server can be found
under the Tools menu.
