3 LAN Configuration
Example: The user may not want to have a Bootp Server be active in his
network all the time. But on the other side, he may not have any other
configuration method than Bootp. In this case he starts the Bootp Server
temporarily, powers on the detector using the initialization mode
"Bootp & Store", waits for the Bootp cycle to be completed, closes the Bootp
Server and powers off the detector. Then he selects the initialization mode
"Using Stored" and powers on the detector again. From now on, he is able to
establish the TCP/IP connection to the detector with the parameters obtained
in that single Bootp cycle.
Figure 9
Use the initialization mode "Bootp & Store" carefully, because writing to the non-volatile
N O T E
memory takes time. Therefore, when the detector shall obtain its parameters from a Bootp
Server every time it is powered on, the recommended initialization mode is "Bootp"!
Using Stored
When initialization mode "Using Stored" is selected, the parameters are taken
from the non-volatile memory of the detector. The TCP/IP connection will be
established using these parameters. The parameters were configured
previously by one of the described methods.
