Obtain an IP address automatically:
In the default setting, the IP Interface Secure expects the assignment of
an IP address by a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server. This server responds to a request by
assigning a free IP address to the device. If a DHCP server is not available in the network, the device starts an
auto IP procedure. It assigns itself an address from the reserved range for auto IP addresses (169.254.1.0 to
196.254.254.255).
For information about DHCP: see chapter
•
Use a static IP address:
If no DHCP server is installed in the network or if the IP address should remain the
same, it can be assigned as static.
When assigning static IP addresses, ensure that each device receives a different IP address.
Note
The MAC address is read from the device after a download.
The MAC address is additionally labeled on the device, or it can be determined via the IP Tool.
