IP Address Report
When IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 products are used in a dynamic IP environment, users need to spend more
time with IP management tasks. For example, if the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 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 the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485, the host needs a way to determine the
IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485’s new IP address.
IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 products help out by periodically reporting their IP addresses 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 the
IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485’s Auto IP report.
1. Use the SE-Converter Administrator’s IP Address Report function.
2. Use “Auto IP report protocol”, which can automatically receive the Auto IP report on a regular basis. It can
also be used to help you develop your own software. Refer to Appendix E for the “Auto IP report protocol”.
