be determined by accessing the local DHCP server and reviewing the connected
devices or by using industry accepted network scanning tools.
Directions for each DHCP server, router, or network scanning tool differ. Refer to the
instruction manual for these devices or tools to help determine the IP address assigned
to the FlightStation. The MAC address for each FlightStation can be found on the
device housing.
Optional : You may wish to configure your DHCP server to reserve an IP address for
FlightStation in order to ensure its address does not change in the future. Refer to your
router or DHCP server instructions for how to reserve IP addresses.
7.2 DHCP Fallback
•
The system will always enter DHCP client mode on power up.
•
If we have a preferred IP address configured, it will be loaded as the default into
the network interface.
•
If we have a preferred IP address configured and the unit is on a network
with a DHCP server, the DHCP address received from the DHCP server will
overwrite the preferred IP address in the network interface. The network
administrator can create a DHCP reservation based on the MAC address for
that IP address if needed.
•
If we have a static IP address configured, the DHCP requests will stop after 75
seconds. The 75 seconds was chosen because the default port configuration on
some switches can take 60+ seconds for the link to come up.
7.3 FlightStation Information URL
FlightStation settings can be observed and changed by navigating via web browser from
a PC or mobile device which is on the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the powered
FlightStation. The IP address assigned by the DHCP server serves as the base URL.
FlightStation base URL:
http://###.###.###.###/
Note
“###.###.###.###” is the IP address of the device
