Setting your MusicCAST client to act as
a DHCP client
If you set your MusicCAST client to act as a DHCP
client, it automatically receives a new IP address
from the network DHCP server each time you turn
it on. This is useful if you do not want to pre-set an
IP address for each MusicCAST client in your
system. The MusicCAST client is set to be a DHCP
client by default.
Notes
• The MusicCAST client must be connected to a
network with an active DHCP server if you wish it
to act as a DHCP. The MusicCAST server can act
as a DHCP server if you set it to so. See page 110
in the MCX-1000 owner’s manual for more
information.
• If you are using a DHCP server other than the
MusicCAST server when using the MusicCAST
client as a DHCP client, you may sometimes need
to reset the IP address the MusicCAST client is
receiving from the DHCP server. Stop all activity
on MusicCAST clients while doing this. For more
information see the section of your DHCP server’s
owner’s manual that deals with the expiration of
IP addresses.
