Wall DHCP
Starting with BCM 6.3, the BCM client offers a structured assignment of permanent IP
addresses during setup of the display wall. It is recommended to use this functionality, cf.
5.4 Setting up a video wall in Barco Wall Control Manager Client
When using IP re-addressing in the client, you don’t need to work with the Wall DHCP page
of Green BCM.
The network interface of Green BCM labeled WALL is configured as DHCP server. Any device connected to this
interface automatically gets an IP address. This IP address is in the short-term address range 172.29.128.x.
A short term IP address is leased for 1 hour; in case the device gets disconnected, its short term IP address will
be released. If required this address will be assigned to another device detected in the video wall network.
Besides the short term IP addresses Barco Wall Control Manager Software offers to assign a permanent IP ad-
dress to a device. The MAC address of the device and the assigned IP address are stored as a pair in the configu-
ration table of the Green BCM DHCP server.
In principle all devices listed in the Short-term IP table can get a permanent IP address: select the device (tick
the checkbox), and then click
Permanent
: the device will get the next free permanent IP address and be listed
in the Permanent IP table.
The buttons Permanent, Add, Delete "just work on web browser level".
To actually apply the changes you need to click Apply! This command re-starts the DHCP
server, the entries of the Permanent IP table get copied to the configuration table of the
DHCP server.
A device which is either disconnected from the network, or which MAC Address has been
added to the configuration table of the network, will be removed automatically from the
short term IP address table at the next time the DHCP server "looks for devices"(at max.
after an hour)
