The instrument maintains the IP address as long as it is powered on. When the instrument receives its IP address and Host Name from the BootP Service, it stops broadcasting the request. The Agilent BootP Service can answer this request and pass a previously defined IP address and Host Name associated with the hardware address to the requesting instrument. The request may continue for up to 5 minutes.
