Step 7 Locating the DHCP Allocated IP Address
If the unit has been left at default setting then the unit will be automatically allocated an IP
address, it is important to find this information before the configuration of the unit can be carried
out.
The DV-IP Decoder must be connected to the DHCP network during this procedure.
Note: Although this configuration provides an IP address for the DV-IP Decoder unit using the DHCP
protocol, the IP address is only temporary, so it is advised that a permanent IP address is provided
manually at a later date, i.e. next time the system restarts the IP address may change.
1. Connect to DV-IP Decoder using Hyper Terminal as described in Allocating and IP Address
above.
2. At the DV-IP> prompt in HyperTerminal, run the IP configuration tool, type:
ipcfg<ENTER> - the DHCP IP address assigned is displayed.
Make a note of the IP address for testing the network configuration.
IP address
for example 172.16.0.100
Subnet mask
for example 255.255.0.0
Gateway
(if required)
for example 172.16.0.254
