Network
Type of Network
In order for a notebook/PC and the HDS6000 to communicate with one another, each
of the devices must be able to send data to the other (network). So that this data
arrives at the right station, the station must have a unique address. In an IP network
this is achieved with an IP address.
The HDS6000 supports DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). If the automatic
reference to an IP address is set at the client (DHCP client), the HDS6000 can be
included in any network without further configuration.
A DHCP server on the network automatically assigns an IP address to the DHCP client
(HDS6000).
If the HDS6000 is connected by a ethernet cable only to a notebook, without a wider
network structure, then the HDS6000 is a DHCP server. The HDS6000 assigns a
dynamic IP address to the notebook/PC on start-up, see "DHCP Server", page 66).

If there is no DHCP the user must enter the IP address and netmask.
