LC Injector HTC/HTS Description and Installation
Establishing Communication with Computer
Special Remarks to the above listed Parameters
DHCP:
In current Firmware level 4.1.X, certain limitations accompany the DHCP
communication protocol. If DHCP mode is active, a dynamic search for the IP
address is activated. If a free IP address is found, the communication from the
PAL-xt System to the network becomes established. The new IP address
(found through DHCP search) is not entered into the PAL-xt Communication
protocol as seen from the local terminal. The parameters IPAddr1 to 4 are not
updated.
How to overcome this situation is described below with the PAL Loader
software as example but analogously applies the described path to other
application as well.
The Setup for the PAL Loader software requires entering the IP address or
hostname. The dynamically provided IP address cannot be displayed on the
local terminal. To overcome this difficulty, the following setup procedure can
be used:
Preparations PAL-xt setting in Communication class: DHCP = On.
1 Open the Setup window and enter the following name in the Hostname or IP

Address field: CXXXXXX. The Xs must be replaced by the last six characters
of the MAC address, which is known from the PAL-xt System as parameters
MacAddr4, MacAddr5, and MacAddr6.
