ZeroConf
If no IP address can be assigned via boot protocols, the TPR assigns
itself an IP address via ZeroConf. For this purpose, the TPR picks an
IP address at random from the address range (169.254.0.0/16) which
is reserved for ZeroConf.
You can use the domain name service of Bonjour for the name
resolution of the IP address; see:
BOOTP
The TPR supports BOOTP, which means that the IP address of the TPR
can be assigned via a BOOTP server.
Requirements
The 'BOOTP' parameter has been enabled, see:
A BOOTP server is available in the network.
If the TPR is connected, it asks the BOOTP host for the IP address and
the host name. The BOOTP host answers and sends a data packet
containing the IP address. The IP address is saved in the TPR.
DHCP
The TPR supports DHCP, which means that the IP address of the TPR
can be assigned dynamically via a DHCP server.
Requirements
The 'DHCP' parameter has been enabled, see:
A DHCP server is available in the network.
After the hardware installation, the TPR asks a DHCP server for an IP
address by means of a broadcast query. The DHCP server identifies
the TPR on the basis of its hardware address and sends a data packet
to the TPR.
This data packet contains, among others, the IP address of the TPR,
the default gateway, and the IP address of the DNS server. The data
is saved in the TPR.
