How do I use an L2 controller?

RE: How do I use an L2 controller?
Yo,
I have finally purchased an L2 controller of eBay (super cheap), I made a 48V DC PSU for it and everything basically runs (got a new internal battery too at Jan-Japp's recommendation, beforehand). Current firmware is 1.40, I set the time, time zone,and cleared the old network settings. I am worried though that I cleared the static settings and it claims the DHCP client is starting...but never gets an IP?!? Same ethernet cable with a laptop gets IP just fine. Tried two different network locations...no worky.

Network switch confirms MAC address of L2 controller when ethernet cable is attached...so media level is working. Is the DHCP client known to be trash? I'll see about setting a static later...I just don't want to, long term.
