Static mode

In this mode the machine

’

s IP address must be manually assigned. 

Once entered the IP address is locked to the assigned address.

Auto mode

In this mode, the machine will scan the network for a DHCP server, 
if it can find one, and if the DHCP server is configured to allocate an 
IP address to the machine, then the IP address supplied by the 
DHCP server will used. If no DHCP server is available, then the 
machine will scan for a BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is 
available, and it is configured correctly, the machine will take its IP 
address from the BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is not available, 
the machine will scan for a RARP server. If a RARP server also does 
not answer, the IP Address is scanned through APIPA facility, see 
page 2-1. After it is initially powered ON, it may take a few minutes 
for the machine to scan the network for a server.
