Assigning an IP Address using DHCP
The controller can obtain its dynamic IP address from a server (DHCP). In
contrast to fixed IP addresses, dynamically assigned addresses are not stored
permanently. Therefore, a DHCP server must be available each time the
controller is restarted.
If an IP address has been assigned by means of DHCP (default setting), it can be
determined through the settings and the output of the specific DHCP server.
In conjunction with the DNS server associated with DHCP, the device can be
reached using its host name. This consists of a prefix and the MAC address or
part of it. The MAC address of the device can be printed on the label on the side
of the device.
The following example shows the corresponding output of “Open DHCP”.
Figure 14: “Open DHCP”, Example Figure
In the example shown, the prefix is “Host” and the MAC ID is
“00:30:de:46:68:98”.
The host name is “Host0030de466898”.
