Connecting to a network - dynamic vs static IP

I have a need to install numerous DT80s into a network and the network administrator is reluctant to give out a bunch of static IP addresses for me to use (the admin would give me one or two static IP addresses to use, but I would need many more).

Is there a way to configure DeLogger Pro, DT80s, and routers so that I can deal with a network that hands out dynamic IP addresses? Each DT80 would be on a separate router.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

I have setup a router and DT80 using dyndns.org to handle the dynamic address of cell phone networks but it sounds as if you are talking about a private LAN rather than an internet like connection.

Given the network administrator is restricting you I would be asking them for the answer.

Craigus,

Thanks for your reply. You are right, I am just dealing with communications within a LAN, rather than on the Internet.

I don't think current DT80 can talk with a DHCP server and receive a dynamic IP. Maybe someone knows how to do that. Another way, you can point to a router and use its port forwarding / virtual LAN function. (if your network admin don't want to give you IPs has him to manage the solution )
e.g.
DT80 #1 IP 192.168.150.100 PORT No 7700
DT80 #2 IP 192.168.150.100 PORT No 7701

Teo,

Thanks for your reply. I understand port forwarding and VPN, but what does it mean to point to a router?

Thanks,
Mike

Sorry, not clear...

I mean having a router in the middle between host PC and DT80s. For virtual LAN I mean -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLAN .

Just some ideas, I'm not a network administrator..

Hi Guys,

Ok, DT80 must have a static IP address.If you have more than one on the same network then each must have a unique IP address on that network.

If you have different networks and talk via gateways then there may be two devices with the same IP address but as they are on different networks there is no problem.

So Mike, You could set up your own network, with your own static IP addresses and use a gateway to bridge to your existing network or get a bunch of static IP addresses from your friendly network guy.

I think the static IP will be the easier way to go.

Cheers,
Roger
