AW00061111000 Installing a GigE Camera
Installation and Setup Guide for ace CL, aviator, beat, pilot, racer, runner, and scout Cameras (Windows) 25
When an adapter is set for DHCP / Auto IP (LLA), it will do the following:
It will first attempt to obtain an IP address from a (DHCP) server. If a DHCP server is available,
it will obtain an IP address from the server and use it.
If no DHCP server is available, the adapter will use its alternate configuration. The alternate
configuration will be for the adapter to use the LLA routine to assign itself an IP address.
The default setting for most network adapters is DHCP / LLA. In most cases, the adapter used with
your cameras will not have a DHCP server available. So with the default settings, the adapter will
end up using automatic IP addressing to assign itself an IP address.
For more information about the LLA address routine, see Section 4.6.2.2 on page 29.
There is another adapter IP configuration available called "DHCP / Alternate
Configuration = Fixed Address", but this configuration is seldom used.
