If your DHCP server shows the name of the client (FB2900) that issued the DHCP request, then you will see a value that depends on whether the system name is set on the FB2900, 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 name | Client name used |
not set (e.g. factory reset configuration) | FB2900 |
set | Main application software running |
If the FB2900'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 FB2900 is in a factory-reset state, then the system name will not be set, and you will have to locate it by MAC address.
