IP Address Report
When NPort 5100 products are used in a dynamic IP environment, users must spend more time
with IP management tasks. For example, if NPort 5100 works as a server (TCP or UDP), then the
host, which acts as a client, must know the IP address of the server. If the DHCP server assigns a
new IP address to NPort 5100, the host must have some way of determining NPort 5100’s new IP
address.
NPort 5100 products help out by periodically reporting their IP address to the IP location server, in
case the dynamic IP has changed. The parameters shown below are used to configure the Auto IP
report function. There are two ways to develop an “Auto IP report Server” to receive NPort 5100’s
Auto IP report.
1. Use Device Server Administrator’s IP Address Report function.
2. “Auto IP report protocol”, which can automatically receive the Auto IP report on a regular
basis, is also available to help you develop your own software. Refer to Appendix E for the
“Auto IP report protocol”.
