6.5.2 Con fi guring the MCM-400 HFR for a DHCP network
C
AUTION
:
Make sure that a DHCP server is available and active in the network.
Description
In DHCP setup, the IP address is assigned automatically. No network settings except for Hostname have to be entered manually.
To con fi gure the MCM-400 HFR for a DHCP enabled network, the following steps are required:
• connect the MCM-400 HFR to the DHCP network;
• in the MCM-400 HFR, enable DHCP.
In standard conditions, the network detection only takes a few seconds. This means that the total time needed
to go from power ON to active mode is only a few seconds. This value can vary depending on the speed of
the network connection.
When the DHCP mode is enabled but no DHCP server is running on the network or no Ethernet cable is plugged
in, the network detection cannot be completed: after 5 seconds a time-out occurs and the network con
fi gu-
ration retreats to a default mode in which a fi xed IP address (169.254.0.1) is set. Once the Ethernet cable is
connected, or the DHCP server becomes active again, the con fi guration automatically switches to DHCP en-
abled and tries to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server again.
