  • Page 91 Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6020e Gleaning If an IP address has not been permanently assigned when the OkiLAN 6020e is powered on or reset, it will look for a ping packet on the network. If the OkiLAN 6020e receives a ping packet within two minutes, it will accept the IP address in the ping packet as its own address.
  • Page 92 Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6020e DHCP The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network in a client/ server fashion. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), adding the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configuration options.
