Is there a way to populate several BootP parameters at once? Is there a way to enter the parameters for say 500 devices an ini file?

Q.: Is there a way to populate several BootP parameters at once? Is there a way to enter the parameters for say 500 devices an ini file?
A.: Yes there is an ini file called socket.ini, it's in the C:\Windows (or c:\winnt) folder. Locate the bootp section. Here's a piece of the file:

[BOOTP]
11:11:11:11:11:11=111.111.111.111,file,,
22:22:22:22:22:22=222.222.222.222,file2,,

the format of the record is
M<AC ADDRESS>=I<P ADDRESS>,F<ile name>,S<erial #>,k<ey code>

I'd suggest you create one or two records via the interface and add the additional ones into the .ini file, mimicking the existing records.

Note that the first two entries, MAC address and IP address are separated with a '=' sign rather than with a comma.
