<h5>Access the settings screen:</h5>
Follow the same instructions from the <a href="https://dicksondata.com/resources/support/dicksonone/connect-iseries-equipment-dicksonone-basic/">Basic Configuration</a> to navigate from the home screen to the ethernet settings.

Once you’re in the Ethernet Setup menu you’ll see your equipment’s current IP address and other settings.

To configure those additional settings, toggle the “Obtain an IP address Automatically” to NO if it isn’t already.
