the acquisition of an IP address is successful, you need to record
the IP address automatically acquired by the controller to access
the controller via the Web Interface. This IP address is displayed on
the main system info screen (Main Menu / ESC) in the IP Address
field or in the local display menu (Main Menu / Settings Icon /
Comm Settings) in the IP Address field below the DHCP setting.
Local Menu Navigation:
Main Menu / Settings Icon / Comm Settings / DHCP (set to
enabled) (can also view acquired IP address).
