Using DHCP Addressing Bydefault,theIPaddressfortheEthernetporton
theLCMissetautomaticallyusingtheDynamicHostConfiguration
Protocol(DHCP).
Notes:  IfyouselectDHCPaddressing,theLCMmustbeconnected
toanEthernetnetworkthathasaDHCPservertoobtainan
IPaddress.
 DonotselectDHCPaddressingifyournetworkdoesnot
haveaDHCPserver.
Using Static IP Addressing IfyournetworkdoesnotuseDHCP,orifyou
simplywantthelibrarytohaveafixedIPaddress,youcanconfigurea
static(fixed)IPaddressasdescribedinthissection.UsingastaticIP
addressensuresthatyoualwaysknowtheIPaddressforthelibraryandis

highlyrecommended.
