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.

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
