and gateway IP address. Therefore, these fields are disabled, when DHCP is selected. When retrieving the network
settings via DHCP, the assigned IP address cannot be predicted. Two approaches overcome this issue:
•
Console connection to the capt
2
web to find out the correct address.
Use the menu command
ip
on the console. See chapter
7.3
for details. But this approach may fail if e.g. due
to power failure a new address is assigned during device operation.
•
Access using a unique host name
Optionally, an unique host name for the capt
2
web can be set. Typically the capt
2
web can be accessed directly
from the browser using the host name rather than the fixed IP address.
By default, an individual static IP address is configured in the capt
2
web . Please check the label on the back. Using
this address, capt
2
web is accessible if the dynamic address retrieval should fail.
