protocol used to allocate an IP address to a WebPort. Connection
types available are:
-
DHCP Server. Shows the WebPort is functioning as a
dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server.
When the device connected to the WebPort LAN is
rebooted, the WebPort senses the devices and
dynamically allocates an IP address if it does not already
have one in the LAN IP range. The device should be
configured as a DHCP Client.
-
Static IP. Shows that the WebPort does not allocate IP
addresses for the devices connected to its LAN. The
devices connected to the LAN instead retain their IP
addresses when rebooted (provided they are in the LAN
IP range). The IP address for the device should be
entered manually.
-

DHCP Client. Shows the WebPort LAN is functioning
as a DHCP client, which means that the WebPort obtains
its IP address from a DHCP server, which could be a
router or another WebPort. In this case, the WebPort
neither senses nor allocates IP addresses to devices
connected to it.
IP Address. Lists WebPort IP Address.

Subnet Mask. Lists WebPort LAN Subnet Mask address.
IP Range. Lists the LAN IP range when the LAN is set to
function as a DHCP server. Example: 192.168.2.150 to
192.168.2.254
