Operation Without The Dhcp; Dhcp - Softing NETLink S7-Compact User Manual

If no NETLink S7-Compact Gateway can be accessed via the stated IP address, the following message
will appear:
This message can have two causes:
§
There is no NETLink S7-Compact device with the stated IP address (e.g. the device has not yet
been switched on or is still starting up).
§
The IP configuration of the computer used does not match the IP configuration of the stated
NETLink S7-Compact (e.g. different subnet mask settings).
From the parameterization form shown, it can be seen that not only static IP address allocation but
also IP parameter assignment via DHCP is possible.
Both these options are now explained in more detail.
5.1.3.3

Operation without the DHCP

If a NETLink S7-Compact is used in a network without a DHCP server (or you want the NETLink S7-
Compact to work with the same IP address on the network despite the presence of a DHCP server)
the required IP parameters are stored in the input forms for Static parameters.
In this case, the checkmark is not set in the field Get IP address automatically (DHCP).'
Clicking the [Save in NETLink PRO Family] button saves the parameters in the NETLink S7-Compact
Gateway.

DHCP

To have the NETLink S7-Compact receive its IP parameters automatically via DHCP, set a checkmark in
the field Get IP address automatically (DHCP).
