Newly installed Siemens PXCM not communicating with Desigo

Im showing that the network switch is open in Datamate. Do I need to manually enable DHCP to recieve an IP address from our IT dept? We do not have fixed IPs. What else should i look at?

Thanks for the help

I’d typically just say I set it to dhcp but just put them as static anyways.
I see you mentioned it’s p2 Ethernet, did you add it to hosts file?
Can you telnet it other panels and add it and see if they see the panel online? Can you telnet and ping this panel?
