9 Further Notes on Operation
9.8Restart after Detection of a Duplicate IP Address in the Network
To save you
When you eliminate the cause by removing the device with the same IP address or changing its address, you must then restart the CP.
9.9Obtaining the IP Address over DHCP − CP STOP on Expiry of the Lease
If you have configured “Obtain IP address from a DHCP server”, when the CP starts up, it is assigned a valid IP address by the DHCP server for a restricted time (period of the lease).
When the lease expires the reaction of the CP is as follows:
The CP changes to STOP and loses the previously assigned IP address if the DHCP server does not assign a new IP address on expiry of the lease. All communication connections are terminated.
