"Network" Sites
1. Leave the MAC Address 00:00:00:00:00:00. Click the
"Get IP/Unit" button. VIP Composer will now attempt
to find a VIP unit on the network that has not been
previously assigned to a "site" (this will take several
seconds). If one is found, then it will fill in the MAC and
IP address fields.
2. Entering a MAC Address. A quick reference card
came with your VIP unit that has on it the MAC address
associated with that unit. After entering in the MAC
address, click the "Get IP/Unit" button. VIP Composer
will search for the VIP unit on the network that matches
the given MAC address (this will take several seconds).
If the unit found, it will then fill in the IP address.
If either method of obtaining an IP address via a DHCP
server fails to find a VIP unit check the MAC address
entered and try again. If it still fails, it means that the
VIP is not connected to the network or it is not on the
same subnet as your PC. If the latter is the case, then
you will need to use a Static IP address. This address is
provided by your Network Administrator and had to be
entered into the VIP when initially set up.

The "Network" publish method
is for VIP units that are
connected to your corporate
LAN or to the Internet.
The default setup for the
IP Address is to use a
DHCP server. There are
two ways to set up this
connection using DHCP:
(both use the MAC
address which is unique
to every VIP unit).
