3.15.3. Specifying the DSS IP Address
By default, the DSSAC will attempt to log in to the nearest Docking Station Server (DSS) from
which it receives a broadcast. If you know the IP address of another DSS, you can log into it by
specifying the server’s address in the
Login
dialog. You will also need to specify the DSS IP
when your DSS is not using the broadcaster service.
To specify a DSS IP address, follow the instructions below.
Step Instruction
1.
Using the Windows
®
Start menu, select Programs, then Industrial Scientific
Corporation, and then Docking Station Server Admin Console.

NOTE:
When you restart the DSSAC, it will always attempt to log in to the DSS from which a
broadcast is received, if any. If a broadcast is not received, it will remember the IP of the DSS to
which the DSSAC was last logged in.
