After powered on, unconfigured LANCOM devices check first, whether a DHCP
server is already active in the LAN. Dependent on the situation, the device is
able to switch on its own DHCP server or, alternatively, to activate its DHCP
client mode. In this second operating mode, the device itself can obtain an IP
address from a DHCP server already existing in the LAN.
Network without DHCP server
In a network without DHCP server, unconfigured LANCOM devices activate
their own DHCP server service after starting, and assign appropriate IP
addresses and gateway information to the other workstations within the LAN,
provided that the workstations are set to obtain their IP address automatically
(auto-DHCP). In this constellation, the device can be accessed with any web
browser from each PC with activated auto-DHCP function through the name
LANCOM
If the configuration PC does not obtain its IP address from the LANCOM DHCP
server, figure out the current IP address of this PC (with Start
cmd and command ipconfig at the prompt under Windows 2000 or Windows
XP, with Start
under Windows Me and Windows 9x, or with the command ifconfig on the
console under Linux). In this case, the LANCOM is reachable under the IP
address
the configuration PC).
