The BMX NOE 01x0 modules use the Address Server tab to configure the correspondence table between the or the Name () and the IP addresses of the module if the latter is configured as a server.
Address management is performed in a dedicated IP address server. To avoid the task of managing each device’s IP address individually, /DHCP automatically provides devices with IP parameters. The address server employs DHCP (an extension of BOOTP), to automatically assign IP configuration parameters to devices.
This function is useful when replacing a failed remote device (for example, a faulty Momentum module).
The following procedure describes access the Address Server page from the index page:

Address Server Configuration
The Address Server tab has only one zone, the Client/Server address table. This table:

lists by MAC address or name (16 ASCII characters) the remote stations that need the server to start up
-
provides a correspondence between the MAC address or name and the of the remote station, subnetwork mask, and gateway
To configure the address server, fill in the fields of the table for each device that requires the module as DHCP server:
-
MAC Address or Name
-
IP Address
-
Netmask
