Network Changes & Padlock Icon on Imagerunner Advance 4235

[MasterKraft85]

Hello:

I recently bought a used IR ADV 4235 off Ebay for my office.  I've got it running but have noticed a few odd things.  Most notably, when I go to change the IP Address settings, upon a restart of the machine, the network settings revert back to the original and I cannot figure out why this is happening.  I see a small padlock in the lower left corner of the screen and wondered if that has anything to do with the problems I'm experiencing.  Any advice is welcome.

The network issue was a simple fix.  We had accidentally turned on the DHCP option in the IPV4 network settings.  This caused the router to assign a new IP address after each startup even though we were attempting to change it.  We turned this option off and issued the printer a static IP address with our router.

We are still troubleshooting what the padlock means.
