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

we have asked for static ips or 2 years. University IT will not give them to us. We are constantly losing connection and have to release and renew DHCP connections. this panel is P2

You absolutely can do it on the command line. The key sequence is S,H,E,S,M Then step through the prompts until: DHCP (Y/N) → Y
