16.  Type 3 to enter the Modem/Configurable Pin Settings section and 

set CP1 to RS-485 Enable Wire (see the next section for details).. 

In the Network/IP Settings section of the Configuration Menu you can 
configure: 

•  IP Address of the MES1A/B 
•  Default Gateway 
•  Netmask 
•  Telnet Configuration Password 

Every device connected to a TCP/IP network must have a unique IP 
Address. This includes every MES1A/B. However, there is more than one 
way to set up an IP address for the MES1A/B 

The MES1A/B is shipped with a default IP address of 0.0.0.0. This 
configures the converter to obtain an IP address via DHCP (Dynamic Host 
Configuration Protocol) from a DHCP server on the network when the 
MES1A/B boots up.  

If a DHCP server is available to respond to the DHCP request, the MES1A/B 
will receive an IP address, gateway address and subnet mask from the server. 

A DHCP-generated IP address will appear in the Device Tree,  Device List 
and at the top of the Telnet Configuration tab, but it will not be displayed 
in the IP Address field of the Network/IP Settings section of the 
Configuration Menu.
