IP Address Report
When the NPort is used in a dynamic IP environment, users must spend more time with IP management
tasks. NPort serial device servers help out by periodically reporting their IP address to the IP location
server, in case the dynamic IP has changed.
1.
Configure the NPort with Dynamic IP settings (DHCP, BOOTP, or DHCP/BOOTP). Assign the remote Auto
IP report server’s IP address and UDP port.
2.
Select the
IP Address Report
, and click the right mouse button to select
Settings
.
3.
Configure the Local Listen Port to be the same as the NPort’s “Auto report to UDP port” setting.
