ArmorStart EtherNet/IP Distributed Motor Controller Getting Started 19
DHCP IP Support DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) software automatically assigns
IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network.
When DHCP is enabled (factory default Enabled), the unit will request its
network configuration from a DHCP/BOOTP server. Any configuration
received from a DHCP server will be stored in non-volatile memory.
ArmorStart EtherNet/IP will remember the last successful address if DHCP is
enabled. The possibility exists that the adapter will be assigned a different IP
address, which would cause the adapter to cease communicating with the
ControlLogix® controller.
