HelixNet: HKB-2X and HRM-4X units take time to reboot if DHCP mode is selected
Question: I have a question about Ethernet connectivity of the HKB’s and HRM’s. We’ve had some instances where it’s taken a very long time for some of these units to boot up into their respective roles. They will sometimes sit in an “Unassigned” state for some time before finally connecting. To be clear, this is not the norm and happens periodically on different units. I went into the network diagnostics menu on one of the last times this happened and realized the unit had a self-assigned IP address. After a bit the unit refreshed and finally got an address from the DHCP server and booted up into the proper role. Any idea why this may be happening?
Answer: If the DHCP server does not answer within 10 seconds, the unit picks a link-local address (169.254.x.x). It retries DHCP every minute from then on.
Using a Static IP would result in quicker and more consistent boot up.
