3.2.
NETWORK PARAMETERS
The module has DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) enabled as factory default.
Thus, a DHCP server must be used to provide the module with the required network
parameters (IP address, subnet mask, etc.). There are a number of DHCP utilities available,
however it is recommended that the DHCP server in the PLX50 Configuration Utility be used.
Within the PLX50 Configuration Utility environment, the DHCP server can be found under the
Tools menu.
Figure 3.2. - Selecting DHCP Server
Once opened, the DHCP server will listen on all available network adapters for DHCP requests
and display their corresponding MAC addresses.
Figure 3.3. - DHCP Server
NOTE: If the DHCP requests are not displayed in the DHCP Server, it may be
due to the local PC’s firewall. During installation, the necessary firewall rules
are automatically created for the Windows firewall.
Another possibility can be another DHCP Server is operational on the network
and it has assigned the IP address.
