BOOTP
The TPG60 supports BOOTP, which means that the IP address of the
TPG60 can be assigned via a BOOTP server.
Requirements
;
The parameter 'BOOTP' has been activated.
If the TPG60 is connected, it asks the BOOTP host for the IP address
and the host name. The answer of the BOOTP host server, which
contains the IP address, is sent as a data packet and saved in the
TPG60.
ARP/PING
By means of the 'arp' and 'ping' commands, you can save the IP
address in the TPG60.
If the TPG60 already has an IP address, the 'arp' and 'ping'
commands cannot be used to save a new IP address. However, an IP
address from the address range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254
which is reserved for ZeroConf can be overwritten by means of the
'arp' and 'ping' commands.
Use the 'arp' and 'ping' commands to save the IP address if your
network has no superordinate management of IP addresses, such as
a DNS server.
The 'arp' command is used for editing the ARP table. The 'ping'
command transfers a data packet containing the IP address to the
hardware address of the TPG60. If the data packet has been
successfully sent and received, the TPG60 permanently saves the IP
address.
The implementation of the 'arp' and 'ping' command depends on the
system used. For more information, please read the relevant section
in the documentation of your operating system.
