LAN with a DHCP Server
(Local Area Network with a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server)
Many corporations use the LAN/Server with DHCP arrangement for their networks. In this type of setup
several computers are typically connected to a network that makes use of a DHCP server. In addition, the
primary data acquisition device, e.g., DaqBook/2020, is connected to the network hub/switch.
LAN with a DHCP Server
Notes:
¾
Using a DaqBook/2020, DaqBook/2001, DaqBook/2005, DaqOEM/2001, or DaqOEM/2005 on a
typical LAN may affect the speed of the network and internet data transfer. Because of this we
recommend adding a network card to the computer and using one of the two dedicated network
configurations.

Contact your network administrator before connecting a DaqBook/2020, DaqBook/2001,
DaqBook/2005, DaqOEM/2001, or DaqOEM/2005 to a corporate network.
LAN with no DHCP Server
(Local Area Network with no Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server)
This scenario looks the same as that shown in the previous illustration, except there is no Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP). In this type of setup, one or more computers are connected to a network;
and each computer has a static IP address.
