DHCP Server

Overview

It is possible to configure a DHCP server on the Ethernet_1 network of the M241 Logic Controller.

The DHCP server offers addresses to the devices connected on the Ethernet_1 network. The DHCP server only delivers static addresses. Each slave identified is assigned a unique address. DHCP slave devices are identified either by their MAC address or their DHCP device name. The DHCP server configuration table defines the relation between addresses and identified slave devices.

The DHCP server addresses are given with an infinite lease time. There is no need for the slave devices to refresh the leased IP address.

For more information, refer to IP Addressing Methods.
