DeviceMaster Driver User Guide: 2000595 Rev. A Setting Up DHCP - 49
NS-Link Device Driver Configuration
Setting Up DHCP After associating the DeviceMaster with the MAC address you can configure the
driver to work using DHCP.
1. Before programming an IP address it is critical that the DeviceMaster be
operational (the PWR or Status LED is lit) when configured for the MAC
address ( Associating the MAC Address on Page 34).
Note: If the DeviceMaster is NOT operational, do NOT attempt to program or
use an IP address with the DeviceMaster.
2. Highlight the Device Name of the DeviceMaster that you want to configure.
3. Click the IP Mode radio button.
4. Click the Network Settings button.
5. Click the Modify button.
6. Click DHCP IP. This option allows
DHCP to assign the IP address. Make
sure that you provide the MAC address
of the DeviceMaster for the network
administrator to assign a static IP
address from the pool. The DHCP
server should assign the IP address,
mask, and IP gateway.
7. Click Apply Changes.
8. Click Yes to the WARNING popup
message.
9. Click Yes to the next WARNING popup
message.
If you do not reboot the DeviceMaster at this
time, the IP address is not implemented on
the DeviceMaster. Failure to reboot at this
time can cause network communication
problems. Comtrol support recommends
resetting the DeviceMaster.
After the DeviceMaster reboots, the following occurs:
• The Comtrol Drivers Management Console displays the IP address (0.0.0.0)
and subnet mask (255.255.0.0) values in the Network Settings popup.
• PortVision DX will display the IP address assigned by DHCP.
