Determine or assign an IP address
•
To determine the DHCP address:
By default, the XLR PRO gets an IP address automatically assigned using DHCP. To have an IP address
automatically assigned, connect the XLR PRO to the network via either Ethernet port on the XLR PRO front panel.
An IP address should be automatically assigned within one minute. If a DHCP server hasn’t assigned an IP address
within that time period, the XLR PRO assigns an IP address using the following format:
169.254.
xxx.yyy
where
xxx
is the decimal value of the 2nd to last byte of the XLR PRO Ethernet MAC address and
yyy
is the last byte
of the XLR PRO Ethernet MAC address. If the assigned address is already in use, the address is incremented until a
free address is found.
Once an IP address is assigned, you can read the IP address using the
MY
parameter.
