IP Address Report
When NE-4100 Series products are used in a dynamic IP environment, users must spend more
time with IP management tasks. For example, NE-4100 works as a server (TCP or UDP), and the
host, which acts as a client, must know the IP address of the server. If the DHCP server assigns a
new IP address to the server, the host must take care of what happens when the IP changes.
NE-4100 Series products help out by periodically reporting their IP address to the IP location
server, in case the dynamic IP has changed. The parameters shown below are used to configure
the Auto IP report function. There are two ways to develop an “Auto IP report Server” to receive
NE-4100’s Auto IP report.
1. Use NE-4100 Series Administrator’s IP Address Report function.
2. Refer to Appendix C for the “Auto IP report protocol” to develop your own software.
