The Rockwell Automation BOOTP/DHCP Server (BOOTP) is a standalone
program that combines the functionality of standard BOOTP software with
DHCP software. The linking device is shipped with DHCP enabled.
To configure the linking device by using BOOTP, perform the
following steps.
1. Choose Start > Programs > Rockwell Software > BOOTP-DHCP
Server 2.3.2 Standalone > BOOTP-DHCP Server 2.3.2 Standalone.
BOOTP opens and the linking device sends a request.
2. Verify that the linking device is the correct device by matching the
MAC address with the MAC address found on the label of the linking
device (under the barcode).
