DHCP Network Configuration

2.11.1 Opening the Web UI
On a network using DHCP, SecureSync's IP address will be assigned automatically once it is con-
nected to the DHCP server. This address and other network information are displayed on the front
panel when the device boots up.
1.
On a computer connected to the SecureSync network, start a Web browser, and enter the
above-mentioned IP address of your SecureSync into the address field of the browser.
2.
Log in as an administrator (see: "The Administrator Login Password" on page 215).
Unless you are using DNS in conjunction with DHCP (with the client configured using
SecureSync's hostname instead of IP address), Spectracom recommends to disable DHCP for
SecureSync, and change the IP address to a static address. Failure to do this will result in a loss of
time synchronization, should the DHCP server assign a new IP address to SecureSync.
If you choose to use DHCP for your SecureSync, the basic network configuration is complete, and
you may proceed to "Product Configuration via the Web UI" on page 41, in order to proceed with
the configuration of your SecureSync. Otherwise, proceed to "Replacing a Dynamic with a Static
IP Address" on the facing page
