7.7.1. IP addressing
The DCBM IP address allows its registration onto a network.
To avoid collisions, the IP of the DCBM shall not be identical to
another device on the same network.
Two solutions exist for choosing the DCBM IP address
• Use a static address
• Get an address from a DHCP server
7.7.1.1. Static addressing
On simple networks, the easiest solution is to give a static IP address to the device.
The IP to set for the DCBM must be written through field
ipAddress
at the root of
/settings
Do not confuse with
ipAddress
in the
dhcp
section.
Once set, the new IP address is available for use immediately. The value can be seen on the
display, in the Maintenance screens.
Subnet mask:
The subnet mask is “0.0.0.0”. It cannot be changed. This value allows access from
any other IP address (i.e. no subnet mask restriction).
7.7.1.2. DHCP
When a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server is available on the network, the DCBM can
be set to request an IP address. The server responds with an available IP address, avoiding con
-
flicts.
The DCBM can be turned into DHCP mode using field
dhcp/activation
in
/settings
API.
Other settings in section
dhcp
allow configuration of ports to use, for the client and for the server
(respectively
clientPort
for the DCBM and
serverPort
for the server).
For advanced DHCP networks (e.g. multiple DHCP servers on a network), the IP address of the
DHCP server can be configured in the DCBM, using field
dhcp/ipAddress
.
ipAddress
in
dhcp
section is the address of the DHCP
server
. In most situations, it is not
required and default value must be kept.
i
ipAddress
at the root of
/settings
API will not be updated according to dynamic DHCP
address, as it is an input for static addressing.
