48 48  Theoretically, GLPACs should be able to be configured over Ethernet using a computer that is running a DHCP server (or if they are on a network with a processor that has a control subnet or is running the [[SHOWRUNNER™ DHCP Server>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ User Guide & Wiki.Troubleshooting.DHCP Server.WebHome]]). In practice, however, GLPACs will oftentimes fail to take an IP address from a DHCP server and still require manual configuration via USB.

50 50  * Connect to the GLPAC via USB
51 -* Open Text Console and run the following commands to configure the GLPACs IP settings (example is for a GLPAC at (% style="color:blue" %)**10.0.0.11**(%%) on a (% style="color:purple" %)**10.0.0.0**(%%)(% style="color:darkgoldenrod" %)**/24**(%%) subnet with hostname **GLPAC-1**)
51 +* Open Text Console and run the following commands to configure the GLPACs IP settings (example is for a GLPAC at (% style="color:blue" %)**10.0.0.11**(%%) on a **10.0.0.0**(% style="color:darkgoldenrod" %)**/24**(%%) subnet with hostname (% style="color:purple" %)**GLPAC-1**(%%))
52 52  ** Disable DHCP: ##dhcp off##
53 -** Set IP address: ##ipa 0 10.0.0.11##
54 -** Set IP subnet mask: ##ipm 0 255.255.255.0##
55 -** Set default gateway: ##defr 0 10.0.0.1##
56 -** Set hostname: ##host GLPAC-1##
53 +** Set IP address: (% style="color:blue" %)**##ipa 0 10.0.0.11##**(%%)
54 +** Set IP subnet mask: (% style="color:darkgoldenrod" %)**##ipm 0 255.255.255.0##**(%%)

56 +** Set hostname: ##host (% style="color:purple" %)**GLPAC-1**(%%)##
57 57  ** Reboot the GLPAC: ##reboot##
58 58  * All GLPACs on the job will need to be configured in this way, but if the network is not up (i.e., if it is not yet possible to plug in at one location and communicate via Ethernet to all GLPACs on the job) then it is more time efficient to proceed and load the program over USB before moving on to the next GLPAC
