3D scanner needs PC with static IP?












1















A 3D scanner here needs to be connected to a PC with a static IP address.



The PC is connected to small Windows workgroup.



Would you:



a) Give the PC a static IP address from within Windows 10



OR



b) Give the PC a static IP using by reserving its IP in the router

In a home environment, I prefer to assign a static IP. It's quick and easy.



In a business environment, I prefer to use a reserved address via DHCP. If and when other components of the network infrastructure change, like the DNS servers or the gateway, it is easier to deploy the new values to multiple clients if the clients themselves are already configured to use DHCP for their configuration needs.

    Amen to that. Even for a home-setup I would go the DHCP route. Just so the DHCP server (in the router) knows which ip-adddress are reserved for those "special" devices. In most home-routers this will also automatically create a DNS entry for the device with the reserved address in its local DNS database. This may greatly improve name-based lookups in the local LAN, so you don't need to rely solely on the (often flaky) broadcast or WINS mechanisms of Windows.
