HCP server For most instances this is found on the local gateway or router Brief Notes About DHCP All devices on an IP network require an IP address This is a unique address that identifies each device on the network DHCP Dynamic Host Control Protocol is a mechanism that automatically assigns an IP address to a computer or other devices when it is connected to a network This eliminates the need to manually enter the IP address When a computer is connected to the network another device on the network called a DHCP server detects the presence of the computer and dynamically assigns the IP address to that computer On many small networks the DHCP server is built into the router DHCP works well for client devices such as computers but is not ideal for servers This is because Xytronix Research amp Design Inc Page 21 Setup Pages SmartStorm Irrigation Controller Users Manual servers usually don t initiate communications with other devices but rather they wait for a request from clients To make this request the client must know the IP address of the server If a server gets its IP address dynamically the IP address may not always be the same so client devices may not be able to find the server For this reason servers usually use an IP address that is fixed and does not change The SmartStorm is a server and manual IP address assignment is usually recommended IP Address Enter the IP address for the SmartSto
