Saving the IP Address in the UTN Server
Why IP Addresses?
An IP address is used to address network devices in an IP network.
TCP/IP network protocols require the storing of the IP address in the
UTN server so that the device can be addressed within the network.
How Does the UTN
Server Obtain IP
Addresses?
The UTN server is able to assign itself an IP address during the initial
installation. Boot protocols are used to assign an IP address auto-
matically to the UTN server. Upon delivery, the boot protocols
'BOOTP' and 'DHCP' are enabled.
Once the UTN server is connected to the network, it checks whether
an IP address can be obtained from the boot protocols BOOTP or
DHCP. If this is not the case, the UTN server assigns itself an IP
address from the address range (169.254.0.0/16) which is reserved
for ZeroConf.
Once the UTN server has automatically received an IP address via a
boot protocol, you can save a freely definable IP address in the UTN
server. The UTN server’s assigned IP address can be determined and
changed using the software tools 'SEH UTN Manager' and 'Inter-
Con-NetTool'; see:
Different methods for the assignment of the IP address are described
in the following.
