CRU Ditto Shark User Manual
•
Client (Static IP):
The Ditto Shark acts as a client on the network and you manu-
ally input all network parameters (e.g. IP address gateway, etc.).
•
Server:
The Ditto Shark acts as the master DHCP server on the network and you
manually input all network parameters. The server mode is also used to directly
connect Ditto Shark to a computer.
After your first-time setup,
always
ensure that the Ditto Shark is properly config-
ured to use the proper connection mode before you connect your Ditto Shark to
a different computer or network. An improperly configured Ditto Shark can cause
networking conflicts on the host network.
The Ditto Shark is configured by default to use “Network Client (DHCP)” mode
so that it will not conflict with the most common types of networks.
i. If you selected
Client (Static IP)
or
Server
, then follow additional steps in Section 2.1
below.
If you selected
Client (DHCP)
, you are ready to start using the Ditto Shark. You may
access its settings via the Browser Interface (see Sections 3-8) or via the Front Panel
(see Section 9).

to the USB 2.0 port on the “NetTap Interface” side of the Ditto Shark to enter the
static IP address your network administrator gave you.
If you do not have a keyboard, press
