Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

General Information (DHCP)

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration
protocol used on IP networks. The DHCP functionality is available on all
Agilent HPLC modules with on-board LAN Interface or LAN Interface Card
G1369C, and "B"-firmware (B.06.40 or above) or modules with "D"-firmware.
All modules should use latest firmware from the same set.
When the initialization mode "DHCP" is selected, the card tries to download
the parameters from a DHCP Server. The parameters obtained become the
active parameters immediately. They are not stored to the non-volatile
memory of the card.
Besides requesting the network parameters, the card also submits its
hostname to the DHCP Server. The hostname equals the MAC address of the
card, e.g. 0030d3177321. It is the DHCP server's responsibility to forward the
hostname/address information to the Domain Name Server. The card does not
offer any services for hostname resolution (e.g. NetBIOS).
