ETWORK ONFIGURATION
By default, the EX1401 will attempt to locate a DHCP server. If one is found, the IP address assigned
by the DHCP server will be assumed. Otherwise, after a timeout of 20 seconds, the unit will attempt
to obtain an IP address by using Auto IP.
Auto IP is a mechanism for finding an unused IP address in the range 169.254.X.Y where X is in
the range 1 - 254 and Y is in the range 0 - 255. The device will first attempt to obtain the specific
address 169.254.X.Y, where X and Y are the second-to-last and last octets of the device's MAC
address. However, X will be set to 1 if it is 0 in the MAC address, and to 254 if it is 255 in the MAC
address. If this address is already in use, the unit will attempt to obtain other IP addresses in a
pseudorandom fashion until it finds one that is available.
