8. Communication
8.1 Basic device communication via the
Ethernet interface (module 96-PA-RCM-
EL)
The basic device with module 96-PA-RCM-EL
has six ways to allocate addresses for an Ethernet
connection (TCP/IP):
1. Static
The user selects the IP address, netmask and
gateway on the device. Use this mode for sim-
ple networks with no DHCP server.
2. BOOTP
Automatically integrates your device in an exist-
ing network. BOOTP is an older protocol and
has a smaller range of functions than DHCP.
3. DHCP
On start-up, the device is automatically given
an IP address, netmask and gateway from the
DHCP server.
4. Static gratuitous ARP
The user selects the IP address, netmask and
gateway on the device. The device automat-
ically logs into the network with IP and MAC
address.
5. BOOTP ARP Probe
Simplified protocol for the automatic assign-
ment of IP addresses to the MAC addresses.
The device automatically logs into the network
with IP and MAC address.
6. DHCP ARP Probe
Protocol for the automatic assignment of IP
addresses to the MAC addresses. The device
automatically logs into the network with IP and
MAC address.
