Automatically Assigned IP Addresses for KEN! Clients
KEN! – 4 Overview of KEN! 87
In a small network it is certainly possible to enter IP address-
es for each computer by hand. In larger networks with many
workstations, however, this quickly becomes a daunting
task. Since KEN! Service works with its own DHCP server, it
has the potential to assign IP addresses to KEN! Clients auto-
matically. In this case, KEN! internally assigns an IP address
from the configured address range to each KEN! Client in
your network.
Please note that the IP addresses assigned by KEN! may not
conflict with that of the KEN! Service PC. For more informa-
tion, see the section „The Architecture of KEN!“ ab Seite 91.
If IP address assignment already has been taken care of in
your network, either through dynamic assignment by other
DHCP servers or through manual assignment at each com-
puter, be sure to switch off the “Activate automatic assign-
ment of IP addresses” option in KEN!.
Automatically Assigned IP Addresses for KEN!
Clients
If the automatic assignment of IP addresses is activated
both in the Administration area and in the network settings
of the KEN! Clients, KEN! displays which KEN! Clients have re-
ceived an IP address. The display shows the names and the
IP addresses of the KEN! Clients.
