DHCP Mode
1 DHCP Address Mode
When using DHCP mode, the cradle acquires it’s IP address
dynamically from the DHCP server. There must be a DHCP server
or a DHCP relay agent on the same subnet as the CRD2700-
4200E with IP addresses, a gateway IP address, at least one DNS
address, at least one WINS server address, and a subnet mask for
the unit to be automatically configured. The cradle acquires one
DHCP address from the DHCP server.
Network communications set up:
1. Ensure there is a DHCP server accessible to the CRD2700-
4200E on the subnet.
2. Connect one end of a standard 10 Base-T network cable to
the connector labelled Host on the back of the CRD2700-
4200E. Connect the other end of the cable to a subnet hub.
3. Power up the cradle; the CRD2700-4200E performs a
power-up sequence, then attempts to collect its network
parameters from the DHCP server. While collecting network
parameters, all LEDs flash green. Once configuration
completes, all LEDs shut off.
If configuration of the unit from the DHCP server fails, all LEDs
flash red. The unit retries the DHCP request every 10 minutes.
6 DHCP Address Mode
The 6 DHCP address mode is the cradle’s default mode. When
using this mode, the cradle acquires 6 IP addresses dynamically
from the DHCP server: one for the cradle, one for each of the 4
slots, and one for the expansion slot.
