Step 2
IP Address Discovery or Configuration
The purpose of this section is to be able to contact the Mediatrix 4102's web interface to start with unit configuration.
Once the physical connection is complete, you will need to power on the Mediatrix 4102 and find out the IP address it is using. The Mediatrix 4102's IP
address can be set either dynamically or statically. The default behaviour of the Mediatrix 4102 is to try to obtain a dynamic IP address through a DHCP
server.

Dynamic IPv4 Address Discovery

Before connecting the Mediatrix 4102 to the network, Media5 strongly suggests that you reserve an IP address in your DHCP server for the unit you are
about to connect. DHCP servers reserve IP addresses for specific devices by using a unique identifier for each device. The Mediatrix 4102's unique
identifier is its media access control (MAC) address. The MAC address appears on the label located on the bottom side of the unit.
Note:
Make sure any IPv4 DHCP-provided address is outside of 192.168.0.x or otherwise, contact the unit on the LAN port and change the LAN
IP address for an address that does not clash with the DHCP-provided address.
