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 A-3. After it is initially powered ON, it 
may take a few minutes for the machine to scan the network for a server.
