Network Interface
Check this option to select a specific network interface to use when scanning for devices from a
computer which has more than one interface. If this option is left unchecked, all available
networks will be scanned.
Internal DHCP Server
If a device has been set to use DHCP but there is no DHCP server on the network, the device may
not be detected by IPconfig. To recover access to the device an internal DHCP server in IPconfig
can be temporarily activated:
1. Click the checkbox for Internal DHCP Server, then click OK. IPconfig will automatically
refresh the scan and list the missing device in the main window.
2. Select the device and configure it to use static IP addressing instead of DHCP.
3. Disable the internal DHCP server.

DCP (Discovery and Control Protocol)

Anybus X-gateway PROFINET IRT (2.32) supports the DCP protocol, which allows a PROFINET IO
Controller/Supervisor to change the network settings during runtime. If successful, this will
replace the settings currently stored in the ethcfg.cfg file.

Do not enable the internal DHCP server if there is already an active DHCP server on the
network.
