COMPOINT-LIB manual, Version 1.0
TCP/IP Network
Setting up the IP address with DHCP.
Functional principal:
The COMPOINT-LIB contains all mechanisms of the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configure
Protocol) and can therefore be assigned to an IP address by a DHCP server. The IP
address can be firmly assigned (static assignment) or can be variable within an IP address
space according to configuration of the DHCP server. The additional properties of the
DHCP such as Lease Time, etc. are completely supported by the COMPOINT-LIB.
Please find following a typical entry on a Windows NT DHCP server:
1.)
The COMPOINT-LIB is operable
2.)
DHCP needs to be connected for network interface in COMPOINT-LIB
(default configuration)
3.)
The DHCP has to be available in the LAN segment
4.)
