6.4 DABRF first connection
To connect the DABRF-HWU or DABRF-RM to a laptop or PC in local network without DNS
and DHCP services, we recommend the free software
DHCP Server for Windows
, which
can be downloaded from here:
http://www.dhcpserver.de/cms/
The DHCP Server tool can be installed on the own computer and it provides DHCP and DNS
services for the local network, e.g. for a second Ethernet port.
Each DABRF has a label on the bottom side or rear side, which contains the serial number
and the MAC address. The DABRF uses DHCP services to request a valid IP address from
the network. After them the three lower bytes of MAC address will be used to generate an
individual device name, which will be registered in the DNS.

Example, if the MAC address is
00-17-EA-F2-2D-AC
then the device will be registered in the
DNS with the name
dabrf-f22dac
. In that case, you can access the device via the integrated
Web frontend:
