DHCP Menu (IP Tree)
The parameters displayed on the DHCP page will depend on the choice of DHCP type
(server, relay, or none).
DHCP
Sets the type of DHCP services the Eicon 1550/1551 should offer. By default, DHCP
services are enabled (see ‘DHCP Server Enabled’ below).
• NONE: No DHCP services are supplied, and DHCP requests are ignored.
• SERVER: The Eicon 1550/1551 will act as a DHCP server and will assign IP
addresses in response to DHCP requests by network devices.
• RELAY: The Eicon 1550/1551 will relay DHCP requests to a separate DHCP server.
DHCP Server Enabled (DHCP = Server)
When acting as a DHCP server, the Eicon 1550/1551 is responsible for assigning IP
addresses when it receives a DHCP request from a network device. In other words,
the Eicon 1550/1551 will assign IP addresses to each computer on the internal
Ethernet LAN.
This option is enabled by default. You should not disable it unless the Eicon 1550/1551
is connected to a network that provides its own DHCP services. Note that if the
Eicon 1550/1551 detects an existing DHCP server on the local network, it will
de-activate its own DHCP server.
Starting IP Address (DHCP = Server)
Defines the starting IP address the Eicon 1550/1551 uses when assigning DHCP
addresses.
This address must be on the same network as the Eicon 1550/1551's LAN IP address.
Default: 192.168.1.2
