Ethernet Host Object (F9h) - Attribute 13 - Port 2 State
For Anybus CompactCom B40 and C40 applications port 2 may not be mounted if the application only has space for one ethernet port or for some other reason only need one ethernet port. If this attribute is set to inactive, the DLR object will automatically be disabled, hence the object must be removed from the list of supported objects in the STC file.
Ethernet Host Object (F9h) - Attribute #24 - Enable DHCP Client
If the host application for any reason does not want to support DHCP, this attribute shall be set to False. The DHCP client support in Physical data section of the stc file must be unchecked.
