Update Connections Using Provisioning Station’s DHCP Server

This component updates the Supervisor-to-station connections when a JACE-9000 is acting as a Supervisor for a group of Edge devices connected through the secondary network port. It uses information pulled from the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server running on the JACE-9000. This information includes IP address and port information for Fox and Platform connections.
