“I want DHCP” is preselected to set up the network
using dynamic IP addressing. The gateway is set up at
the factory to receive an IP assignment from a DHCP
Server.
1. If a DHCP Server is not available on your network, it
will default to 169.254.102.39.
2. If a DHCP server is not available and the default
address does not work on your PC, change your PC
network settings to IP Address: 169.254.102.1, Subnet
Mask: 255.255.0.0, Default Gateway: 169.254.102.100.

port. Valid rates range between 75 and 230.4k
bits per second.
