The CHG 4N charger
165
Integrating the CHG 4N charger into a network with DHCP
If a DHCP server is active in the selected network, the CHG 4N charger re-
ceives an IP address automatically.
The CHG 4N charger is automatically detected in the
Sennheiser Control
Cockpit
once it is connected to the network, since the CHG 4N is delivered
with mDNS activated by default.
You can deactivate mDNS after you have configured the charger once. The
IP address may change during operation, depending on the lease time and
the DHCP server settings.
mDNS
=
multicast Domain Name System
: resolves host names to
IP addresses within small networks that do not include a local name
server. Used for automatic device discovery.
Integrating the CHG 4N charger into a network without DHCP using Auto
IP
If there is no DHCP server in the network and you are working with auto-
matically generated IP addresses, please observe the following informa-
tion.
▷
Ensure that the host PC on which the
Sennheiser Control Cockpit ser-
vice
is installed is configured so that the IP address is assigned auto-
matically, rather than a static configuration.
After several minutes, all chargers in the network will receive a
link-local
address in the range of
169.254.x.x
.

Some basic routers with an integrated DHCP server require more
time to start. In this case, the SpeechLine devices may initially re-
ceive an automatically assigned IP. Once a DHCP server is available,
however, the IP addresses assigned by the server will be used.
Integrating the CHG 4N charger into a network without DHCP using Fixed
IP
If there is no DHCP server in the network and you are working with fixed IP
addresses, please observe the following information.
The CHG 4N charger is delivered with automatic IP assignment configured
by default. After adding it in the
Sennheiser Control Cockpit
, you can re-
configure it to Fixed IP. To do so, proceed as described above: „Integrating
the CHG 4N charger into a network without DHCP using Auto IP“.
