IP address report
When serial servers are used in a dynamic IP environment,
users must spend more time with IP management tasks. For
example, serial server works as a server (TCP or UDP), and
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 the server; the host must take care of what happens
when the IP changes. Serial servers 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 congure the Auto IP Report function. There are
two ways to develop an Auto IP Report Server” to receive
serial server’s Auto IP Report.
