Initial Power-On
10 AX3000 Model 80WMS - User's Manual
- DHCP request sent to obtain a terminal IP address and other parameters
(optional),
- Terminal contacts the AxRM server,
- Firmware file sent (if required), followed by a reboot,
- Configuration file sent, followed by a reboot.
(Total process takes less than two minutes)
2.2.1 - Stage 1: Checking the Network
When the terminal is powered up the network connection is tested. The terminal
displays ‘Checking Network Link’. If a network connection is detected, a
message ' Auto-Conf' is shown. The terminal passes to stage 2.
Auto-conf.
2.2.2 - Stage 2: Sending DHCP requests
To obtain an IP address (and possibly of other parameters) a DHCP request is
sent. If a DHCP server is available its IP address is shown in the status line:
Auto-conf. / DHCP: aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd /
The terminal passes to stage 3
2.2.3 - Stage 3: Sending requests to AxRM
After obtaining an IP address via DHCP negotiation the terminal must start
communicating with the AxRM server.
This presents a challenge because the terminal must determine both the IP
address and the TCP port of the AxRM server.
The recommended way is to configure the DHCP server to send this information
in addition to the AX3000 IP address. This information (IP address and port) can
easily be entered into the DHCP server by using the vendor ID fields. "Axel
DHCP option".
For more information about "Axel DHCP option" please consult the Appendix
A.6.
