Installation Guide 25
Setting Up the DHCP Service
DHCP is a communication protocol that lets network administrators
centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses in a
computer network. DHCP lets a network administrator supervise and
distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends a
new IP address when a computer is plugged into a different place in the
network.
The DHCP server installed with System Protocol Tester does not use the
standard DHCP port. Rather, it uses the following special ports to avoid
any interference with the DHCP server running within your corporate
LAN:
• 7901 : This port is used to listen to the requests sent from a serial I/O
module.
• 7902 : This port is used to listen to the responses/answers sent from the
Controller PC.
Setting up the DHCP service for System Protocol Tester requires you to
configure the LAN card and configure the DHCP service.
