7: Setup Mode: Server Configuration
UDS2100 Device Server User Guide
44
Note:
When you enter Monitor Mode from the serial port with network
connection enabled and issue the NC (Network Communication)
command, you see the unit’s IP configuration.
There are three methods for assigning DHCP names to the unit.
Default DHCP Name
: If you do not change the DHCP name, and you are
using an IP of 0.0.0.0, then the DHCP name defaults to XX.XX.XX.XX
(XXXXXX is the last 6 digits of the MAC address shown on the label on the
bottom/side of the unit). For example, if the MAC address is 00-20-4A-12-34-
56, then the default DHCP name is C123456.
Custom DHCP Name
: You can create your own DHCP name. If you are
using an IP address of 0.0.0.0, then the last option in Server configuration is
Change DHCP device name
. This option allows you to change the DHCP
name to an alphanumeric name (LTX in our example).
Change DHCP device name (not set) ? (N) Y
Enter new DHCP device name : LTX
Numeric DHCP Name:
You can change the DHCP name by specifying the
last octet of the IP address. When you use this method, the DHCP name is
LTXYY where YY is what you chose for the last octet of the IP address. If the
IP address you specify is 0.0.0.12, then the DHCP name is LTX12. This
method only works with 2 digit numbers (01-99).
Enable DHCP FQDN Option
A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is the complete domain name for your
device in network. The FQDN consists of two parts, the hostname and the
domain name. For example, an FQDN for your device might be
myxport.lantronix.com. The hostname is myxport, and the host is located within
the domain lantronix.com. The option to enable DHCP FQDN becomes available
if DHCP is enabled.
Enable DHCP FQDN option : (N)
