Address setting via DHCP-mode
In this application example, the IP address is set via DHCP using the software tool
"BootP/DHCP-Server" version 2.3.2.0 from Rockwell Automation.
Addresses in the range from 1 to 254 can be allocated. The addresses 0 and 255 are reserved
for broadcast messages in the subnet.
After having been connected to the network, the XI/ON sends DHCP requests to the server
using its MAC-ID.
