Auto IP Report
In a dynamic IP environment (DHCP, BOOTP), the NPort PCG’s IP address changes from time to
time, making it hard for the host computer to locate the NPort PCG. To solve this problem, NPort
PCG automatically reports its location to a remote host computer. The Location Report section of
the Configuration window allows you to set up the IP address corresponding to a specified UDP
port for a host computer. The Report Frequency (Sec) setting determines how frequently the
location report is issued. You can use the PCGCI library to develop software that learns the
location of a remote NPort. Refer to the PCGCI Library help file,
C:\PCGSDK2\Pcgcilib\LIBRARY \pcgci.chm, for more details.
To make changes, first click in the Auto IP Report tab, and then enter Host IP, UDP Port, and
Report Frequency (Sec).
