If the FieldServer cannot contact a DHCP Server, the FieldServer will use the last good 
IP address it was configured with. 

The FieldServer can be used as a DHCP Server to allocate an IP address to a PC or 
Laptop that you want to use to connect with RuiNet to the FieldServer.  

Enable the DHCP Server on the FieldServer. 
•  Enable the DHCP Server on Ethernet port N1 and / or N2 by pressing “5” or “A”  

• Press 

“Y”  <Enter> to enable or “Esc” to escape.  “N” will disable the DHCP 

client 

•  Press any key to continue and escape back to the main menu.  Press”!” to 

restart the FieldServer

release and renew a lease on a PC is to open a command prompt window and use the 
following commands (syntax may be different on Windows other than XP):
