NET-DHCP Set DHCP mode.
Only 1 is relevant for
the mode value. To
disable DHCP, the user
must configure a static IP
address for the device.
Connecting Ethernet to
devices with DHCP may
take more time in some
networks.
To connect with a
randomly assigned IP by
DHCP, specify the device
DNS name (if available)
using the
NAME
command. You can also
get an assigned IP by
direct connection to USB
or RS-232 protocol port, if
available.
For proper settings
consult your network
administrator.
For Backward
compatibility, the
id
parameter can be
omitted. In this case, the
Network ID, by default, is
0, which is the Ethernet
control port.
