Auto-IP 
If a DHCP server is NOT available on the network, the MES1A/B will revert 
to Auto-IP and generate its own IP address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range. 
Static IP Address 
The IP address of the MES1A/B can be changed via the Telnet Configuration 
Menu interface.  
To determine an appropriate static IP address, consult your network 
administrator. The Device Installer Help feature also provides some useful 
information related to IP addressing.
