Zero Configuration Setup

As an alternative to conventional network configuration, VersaSync 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 VersaSync's ETH connector is con-
nected to a network, you can directly access the VersaSync 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 (DHCP must be enabled through the Web UI or CLI)
in circumstances when your unit is not connected directly to a PC
when you wish to access the Web UI of your VersaSync without using the
CLI commands or serial connection
anytime the IP address of a unit is not known
Your network is DHCP enabled, and DHCP is enabled on the individual ETH
port you are using.
The PC you will use to communicate with your unit is connected to the
same network as your VersaSync.
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.
