The EZWebCon configuration software is the easiest way to configure the MPS. The fol-
lowing sections cover IP address configuration and print configuration methods for TCP/
IP hosts.

The MPS IP address must be configured before any TCP/IP functionality is available. 
Use one of the following methods to set the IP address: EZWebCon; a directed Ping 
packet; a BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP reply; or commands entered via the command line 
interface. 

Use the following steps to assign an IP address using the EZWebCon Expert Shell. 

From the Action menu, select Assign IP Address.

Enter or change the IP-related settings:

For Ethernet Address, enter the number that appears on the bottom label of 
your MPS. 

For IP Address, enter the desired IP address to use for this MPS. 

For Subnet Mask, change the values provided only if you wish to use a mask 
other than the default. The default value should be correct in most cases. 

For Loadhost, enter the IP address of the loadhost where you intend to store 
your operating code and SDK files (if used). 

Click OK. 

Reboot the MPS. EZWebCon will let you know whether the configuration was 
successful.

The ARP/ping method is available under UNIX and Windows-based systems. If the MPS 
has no IP address, it will set its address from the first directed IP packet it receives.
