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 Wizard DXS - Digital via a
network connection. To discover the allocated IP address:
, set the ‘Use DHCP’ option to ‘Yes’ and select ‘Save’. Once the page is saved, the Wizard
DXS - Digital 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 Wizard DXS - Digital 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 Wizard DXS - Digital 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.
