Web Configuration Using DHCP
This method requires that your network implement DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol), usually on a server or network access
device such as a router that dynamically allows devices to join the
network without pre-configuration. It also assumes that you will have
easy access to your network’s DHCP log, since you will need to know
the IP address of the unit to complete the configuration over your Web
browser. (If you are unsure of how to access your network’s DHCP log,
contact your System Administrator for details.) If the unit is powered
on and connected to the network via LAN port on the rear panel, it will
automatically attempt to lease an IP address using DHCP. Before you
can begin the configuration process, you will need to access the DHCP
log from your file server or other device that acts as the DHCP server
on the network. A simple DHCP log looks similar to the following:
The information displayed for your own network may vary significantly
from the data displayed in the image, but should supply (at minimum)
three essential details: IP address, MAC address, and device (or
machine) name for the computers and other devices connected to your
network. The values for the SV1115IPEXT tested above are as follows:
IP Address: 192.168.22.4
MAC Address: 00-0E-C5-00-08-1A
Device Name: (none)
The easiest way to identify your SV1115IPEXT on the network is
by its MAC address, a unique hardware identifier that is specific to
your unit. The MAC address of the unit can be found using the OSD
setup screen. Write down this number and keep it for future reference.
Once you locate the MAC address of your unit in the DHCP log,
you can match it to its leased IP address and proceed with the Web
configuration.
