Preferred start-up protocol

Defines the protocol which is used to obtain the following parameters:

- IP address (own)
- Gateway IP address
- Subnet mask

##### Valid data

No protocol |  | IP address, Gateway IP and subnet mask will be manually stored in the system. The inputs for each entry will be given by the LAN system administrator |
DHCP |  | During system or IPU board start up, a broadcast including the own MAC - Address will be sent to the DHCP server in order to request a dedicated IP address, Gateway IP address and Subnet mask, which will automatically be stored in the system. When using DHCP it is a must that for the ASB 150 02 a dedicated IP-address is defined in the DHCP server. If there is no dedicated IP-address, the DHCP server always assigns a new IP address after each ASB 150 02 system or IPU board restart, which automatically requires a reconfiguration of all PNR tables in the other network nodes. |
BOOTP (default) |  | The BOOTP protocol acts similar to the DHCP protocol with the difference that there is always a fixed relation between MAC address and IP address. During system or IPU board start up, a broadcast including the own MAC - Address will be sent to the BOOTP server in order to request a dedicated IP- address, Gateway IP-address and Subnet mask, which will automatically be stored in the system. |

Minimum required authority level from telephone: No
