1.6 Saving the IP Address in the SND Server
Why IP Addresses?
An IP address is used to address network devices in an IP network.
TCP/IP network protocols require the storing of the IP address in the
SND Server so that the device can be addressed within the network.
How Does the SND
Server Obtain IP
Addresses?
The SND Server is able to assign itself an IP address during the initial
installation. Boot protocols are used to assign an IP address
automatically to the SND Server. Upon delivery, the boot protocols
'BOOTP' and 'DHCP' are enabled.
Once the SND Server is connected to the network, the SND Server
checks whether an IP address can be obtained via the boot protocols
BOOTP or DHCP. If this is not the case, the SND Server assigns itself
an IP address from the address range (169.254.0.0/16) which is
reserved for ZeroConf.
Once the SND Server has automatically received an IP address via a
boot protocol, you can save a freely definable IP address in the SND
Server. The assigned IP address of the SND Server can be determined
and modified via the software tool 'InterCon-NetTool'; see: Ö20.
Different methods for the assignment of the IP address are described
in the following.
