How to increase the DHCP timeout

From $1

Table of contents

 

By default eWON will wait 45 seconds for an answer from the DHCP server.
If after 45 seconds eWON did not receive an answer on its DHCP request, then it will not attribute an IP address to its Ethernet interface.

You can increase this DHCP timeout up to 240 seconds by using the "DhcpTO" parameter of the comcfg.txt file.

To change the timeout, just put using FTP a comcfg.txt file on the eWON that contains the new value for the timeout parameter.

For example to set the DHCP timeout to 120 seconds use following contents in the comcfg.txt file:
DhcpTO:120000
