IP Addresses in FINS Communications
Section 5-2
2.
Set IP addresses for the devices to be connected.
Set the IP address for the remote EtherNet/IP Unit or built-in EtherNet/IP
port (i.e., the server) connected by FINS/TCP.
This setting must be made if this EtherNet/IP Unit will be used as a FINS/
TCP client.

Application Examples
Responding to Computers with Changed IP Addresses
FINS/UDP
Communications Method
With FINS/UDP, whether using the automatic conversion method (dynamic),
the IP address table method, or the combined method, remote FINS node
addresses and remote IP addresses in the internal table are changed after
FINS messages are received. Therefore, even when a FINS command has
been received from a personal computer (a DHCP client computer) for which
the IP address is dynamically changed, a response can still be sent back to
the computer (the DHCP client computer) from which the command origi-
nated.
FINS/TCP
Communications Method
With FINS/TCP, FINS node addresses and IP addresses in the internal table
are changed with each connection that is established. Therefore, even when a
FINS command has been received from a personal computer (a DHCP client
computer) for which the IP address is dynamically changed, a response can
still be sent back to the computer (the DHCP client computer) from which the
command originated.
Note
Automatic IP Address Setting by DHCP Service
DHCP service is a method whereby a DHCP server collectively manages all
of the IP address in a network.
Nodes that are functioning as clients acquire IP addresses from the DHCP
