Setting Ethernet 2
Ethernet is the method the SuperLoader uses to access a network. With an 
Ethernet connection, you can remotely access the SuperLoader over the 
network to which it is connected. To use the Ethernet connection, you 
must define the following:
• A dynamic or static IP address for the SuperLoader (required)
• A subnet mask (required)
• An IP gateway (optional)
• A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) server (optional)
• A time server, or set the time and time zone manually (optional)
IP Address 2 An IP address is the address of any device attached to a network. Each 
device must have a unique IP address. IP addresses are written as four 
sets of numbers separated by periods ranging from 
0.0.0.0 up to and 
including 
255.255.255.255.
IP addresses are either permanent or dynamically assigned. A 
permanent, or static, address remains the same each time the device 
connects to the network. A dynamic address may change each time the 
device connects to the network and is assigned by the network server 
using DHCP.
To Set a Dynamic IP Address: 2
