1.8Saving the IP Address in the TPG60
TCP/IP network protocols require the storing of the IP address in the TPG60 so that the device can be addressed within the network.
Once the TPG60 is connected to the network, it checks whether an IP address can be obtained from boot protocols (e.g. DHCP). If this is not the case, the TPG60 assigns itself an IP address via ZeroConf.
Different methods for the assignment of the IP address are described in the following.
•’DHCP’ Ö11
•’ZeroConf’ Ö11
•
•’BOOTP’ Ö13
•’ARP/PING’ Ö13
DHCP
The TPG60 supports DHCP, which means that the IP address of the TPG60 can be assigned dynamically via a DHCP server.
;The parameter 'DHCP' has been activated.
After the hardware installation, the TPG60 asks a DHCP server for an IP address by means of a broadcast query. The DHCP server identifies the TPG60 on the basis of its hardware address and sends a data packet to the TPG60.
This data packet contains, among others, the IP address of the TPG60, the default gateway, and the IP address of the DNS server. The data is saved in the TPG60.
ZeroConf
If no IP address can be assigned via boot protocols, the TPG60 assigns itself an IP address via ZeroConf.
;The parameter 'ZeroConf' has been activated.
