Abstract

A main unit address restricted notification system has a main unit, two or more subordinate terminals which acquire an IP address of said main unit at a connection start, an address administration unit having a DHCP function, and a transmitting line for connecting these. The address administration unit attaches terminal identification information to a DHCP message from the subordinate terminals to the address administration unit at a connection start and also the address administration unit comprises a terminal identification information authorizing part which authorizes terminal identification information received and a main unit IP address information notifying unit which notifies only terminals which have passed the authorization of main unit IP address information.

Claims (27)

1. A main unit address restricted notification system comprising:

a main unit,

two or more subordinate terminals which send, for acquiring an IP address of said main unit at a connection start, a DHCP message to which terminal identification information is attached at a connection start,

an address administration unit having a terminal identification information authorizing part which authorizes terminal identification information attached to said DHCP message and a DHCP server function part which notifies only terminals which have passed the authorization of IP address information, and

a transmitting line which connects said main unit, said subordinate terminals, and said address administration unit,

wherein said DHCP server function part attaches an assigned IP address and also main unit IP address information to a DHCP message to terminals which have passed authorization and attaches only the assigned address IP address to a DHCP message to terminals which have failed in authorization.

2. A main unit address restricted notification system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

said address administration unit comprises a DHCP server and a directory server connected to said transmission line, and

said main unit IP address information is an IP address of said directory server.

3. A main unit address restricted notification system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

said subordinate terminals are LAN telephones and said main unit is a system control unit, thereby constructing a LAN telephone system.

4. A main unit address restricted notification system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

said subordinate terminals are network computers and said main unit is an NC server.

5. A main unit IP address restricted notification system, comprising:

a main unit,

two or more subordinate terminals which acquire an IP address of said main unit at a connection start,

an address administration unit having a DHCP server function part,

a terminal identification information authorizing unit, in which at a connection start of said subordinate terminals, a DHCP message on which an IP address request of said terminal information identification authorizing unit is attached is sent from said subordinate terminals to said address administration unit, said subordinate terminals send terminal identification information to a terminal identification information authorizing unit IP address received from said address administration unit, said terminal identification information authorizing unit authorizes said received terminal identification information and notifies only subordinate terminals which have passed the authorization of a main unit IP address information, and

a transmitting line which connects said main unit, said subordinate terminals, and said address administration unit,

wherein said DHCP server function part attaches an assigned IP address and also main unit IP address information to a DHCP message to terminals which have passed authorization and attaches only the assigned address IP address to a DHCP message to terminals which have failed in authorization.

6. A main unit address restricted notification system as set forth in claim 5 , wherein

said address administration unit comprises a DHCP server and a directory server connected to said transmission line, and

said main unit IP address information is an IP address of said directory server.

7. A main unit address restricted notification system as set forth in claim 5 , wherein

said subordinate terminals are LAN telephones and said main unit is a system control unit, thereby constructing a LAN telephone system.

8. A main unit address restricted notification system as set forth in claim 5 , wherein

said subordinate terminals are network computers and said main unit is an NC server.
