To discover a DHCP-allocated IP address
Once.a.DHCP.server.has.allocated.an.IP.address,.you.will.need.to.know.it.in.
order.to.access.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.via.a.network.connection..To.discover.
the.allocated.IP.address:
1. In.network.section.of.either.the. standard configuration menus .or.the.
configuration pages via viewer ,.set.the.‘Use.DHCP’.option.to.‘Yes’.and.
select.‘Save’..Once.the.page.is.saved,.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.will.contact.
the.DHCP.server.and.obtain.a.new.address.
2. Re-enter.the.same.‘Network.configuration’.screen.where.the.new.IP.address.
and.network.mask.should.be.displayed..
DNS addressing
As.with.any.other.network.device,.you.can.arrange.for.your.AdderView.CATx.IP.
to.be.accessible.using.a.name,.rather.than.an.IP.address..This.can.be.achieved.in.
two.main.ways:
•. For.small.networks.that.do.not.have.a.DNS.(Domain.Name.System).server,.
edit.the.‘hosts’.files.on.the.appropriate.remote.systems..Using.the.hosts.file,.
you.can.manually.link.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.address.to.the.required.name.
•. For.larger.networks,.declare.the.IP.address.and.required.name.to.the.DNS.
server.of.your.local.network..
The.actual.steps.required.to.achieve.either.of.these.options.are.beyond.the.
scope.of.this.document....
