1.
In NetLinx Studio, select
Diagnostics
>
Network Addresses
from the Main menu to access the
Network Addresses dialog (FIG. 3).
2.
Verify that both the
System
number corresponds to the System value previously assigned within the
Device Addressing tab and that zero (0) is entered into the
Device
field.
3.
Click the
Get IP
Information
button to configure the on-board Master for DHCP usage and then
read the IP Address obtained from the DHCP Server.
4.
Note the obtained IP Address
(read-only
). This information is later entered into the
Master
Communication Settings
dialog and used by NetLinx Studio v 2.x to communicate to the NI
Controller via an IP. This address is reserved by the DHCP server and then given to the Master.
5.
Verify that
NetLinx
appears in the
Host Name
field (
if not, then enter it in at this time
).
6.
Click the
Use DHCP
radio button from the
IP Address
section.
7.
Click the
Set IP Information
button to retain the IP Address from the DHCP server and assign it to
the on-board Master. A popup window then appears to notify you that Setting the IP information
was successful and it is recommended that the Master be rebooted.
8.
Click
OK
to accept the change to the new IP/DNS information.
9.
Click the
Reboot Master
button and select
Yes
to close the Network Addresses dialog.
10.
Click
Reboot
(from the
Tools > Reboot the Master Controller
dialog) and wait for the System
Master to reboot and retain the newly obtained DHCP Address.
FIG. 3
NetLinx Studio: Network Addresses dialog (for a DHCP IP Address)
System Address
reflects the value
set in the Device
Addressing tab
Used to obtain a
Dynamic (DHCP)
IP Address
The system value must correspond to the Device Address entered in the Device
Addressing dialog. Refer to the Manage System - System Number
section on
page 44
for more detailed instructions on setting a system value.
DO NOT enter ANY IP information at this time; this step only gets the System Master
to recognize that it should begin using an obtained DHCP Address.
If the IP Address field is empty, give the Master a few minutes to negotiate a DHCP
Address with the DHCP Server, and try again. The DHCP Server can take anywhere
from a few seconds to a few minutes to provide the Master with an IP Address.
