Zero Configuration Setup

As an alternative to conventional network configuration, SecureSync can also be
set up using the zero-configuration networking technology ("zeroconf").
When using zeroconf, a TCP/IP network will be created automatically, i.e. without
the need for manual configuration: Once SecureSync's ETH connector is con-
nected to a network, you can directly access the SecureSync Web UI, using a
standard web browser, without any configuration.
Zeroconf can be used to connect to the unit through the Web UI:
Zeroconf Requirements
Prior to using zeroconf, ensure the following requirements are met:

Note: You can use Zeroconf on either Ethernet port if DHCP is
enabled. Zeroconf must be used with a DHCP server.
when you need to identify the IP address assigned to your unit through
DHCP
in circumstances when your unit is not connected directly to a PC
when you wish to access the Web UI of your SecureSync without using the
CLI commands or serial connection
anytime the IP address of a unit is not known (for instance, if you have "lost"
your unit on a network).
Your network is DHCP enabled, and DHCP is enabled on the individual ETH
port you are using (this is the default setting).
The PC you will use to communicate with your unit is connected to the
same network as your SecureSync.
Windows 7/8 users should install Bonjour Print Services, otherwise access
to *.local addresses will not be possible.
Windows 10 already supports mDNS and DNS-SD, hence there is no need
to install additional software.
