DHCP Name
If a DHCP server has automatically assigned the IP address and network settings, you can
discover the unit by using the DeviceInstaller network search feature or Monitor Mode
(see 11: Monitor
Note: When you enter Monitor Mode from the serial port with network connection
enabled and issue the NC (Network Communication) command, you see the unit's IP
configuration.
There are three methods for assigning DHCP names to the unit.
Default DHCP Name: If you do not change the DHCP name, and you are using an IP of

0.0.0.0, then the DHCP name defaults to XX.XX.XX.XX (XXXXXX is the last 6 digits of the
MAC address shown on the label on the bottom/side of the unit). For example, if the MAC
address is 00-20-4A-12-34-56, then the default DHCP name is C123456.
Custom DHCP Name: You can create your own DHCP name. If you are using an IP

address of 0.0.0.0, then the last option in Server configuration is Change DHCP device
name. This option allows you to change the DHCP name to an alphanumeric name (LTX in
our example).
Change DHCP device name (not set) ? (N) Y
Enter new DHCP device name : LTX
Numeric DHCP Name: You can change the DHCP name by specifying the last octet of the

IP address. When you use this method, the DHCP name is LTXYY where YY is what you
chose for the last octet of the IP address. If the IP address you specify is 0.0.0.12, then the
DHCP name is LTX12. This method only works with 2-digit numbers (01-99).
Enable DHCP FQDN Option
A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is the complete domain name for your device in network.
The FQDN consists of two parts, the hostname and the domain name. For example, an FQDN for
your device might be
within the domain lantronix.com. The option to enable DHCP FQDN becomes available if DHCP
is enabled.
