C.5. Using with a DHCP server

If your DHCP server shows the name of the client (FB2500) that issued the DHCP request, then you will see a value that depends on whether the system name is set on the FB2500, as shown in Table C.1. Refer to Section 4.2.1 for details on setting the system name.

Table C.1. DHCP client names used

System nameClient name used
not set (e.g. factory reset configuration)FB2500
setMain application software running

If the FB2500's system name is set, and your DHCP server shows client names, then this is likely to be the preferred way to locate the relevant DHCP allocation in a list, rather than trying to locate it by MAC address. If the FB2500 is in a factory-reset state, then the system name will not be set, and you will have to locate it by MAC address.
