7.1.2.1
Alternative IP-addresses
Use DHCP:
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) The device tries to get its settings from a DHCP server. If
the server is not available, the fixed settings are used! This corresponds to the alternative configuration in
Windows XP or Vista PC.
DHCP ClientID:
The
DHCP ClientID
can be entered if the DHCP server requires a special DHCP ClientID for IP
assignment. If there is no entry, the
is used. Supposing measurement devices are to be
assigned IP by the DHCP server from a particular range. In that case, 'MeasDev 1' etc. could be entered, for
example.
Auto-IP (DHCP + APIPA):
(
Automatic Private IP Addressing
)
Use DHCP is
automatically activated along with
this option. If the DHCP server cannot be reached, the fixed configuration for the address is not used. Instead,
the device uses a random number generator to get an address in the range from 169.254.1.0 to
169.254.254.255. Afterwards it tests whether the address generated is available. If it is already used for another
device, the search is repeated until a free address is found.
