* What is the DHCP server?
The DHCP server is an equipment that can automatically assign the IP address to a computer or other equipment
on the network.When the PX-EH is connected to a network having a DHCP server, the IP address will be
automatically assigned to your PX-EH. Once the IP address is assigned, the PX-EH can be used on the network.
(The default setting of your PX-EH allows it to automatically obtain the IP address from a DHCP server).
If you don't have the network environment specified above, are using a Mac computer, or want to add a shared user,
refer to the Online Manual provided in the CD-ROM.
(Turn this page for an explanation on how to read the Online Manual.)
If you have the above environment, turn this
