2.3.4 - DHCP/Zeroconf
DHCP/Zeroconf is supported by all KissBox products including the CM-MIDI.
To activate the DHCP/Zeroconf mode, just enter 0.0.0.0 in the KissBox Address and click “Upload” to restart
the KissBox.
If a DHCP server is found on the network, the CM-MIDI will use it to get an IP address. If no DHCP server is
found, the CM-MIDI will automatically switch to ZeroConf mode and will use a 169.254.xx.xx IP address.
Note that it is not possible to know which address the CM-MIDI will receive from the DHCP server, apart if
you have specifically configured the server for it. You will then need to use the Scan Network function to locate the
KissBox in the network.
Do not forget that your DHCP server may be configured to provide addresses in a different network. In that
case, you will need to adapt the computer's configuration once the KissBox is restarted otherwise the KissBox
Editor will not be able to reach the KissBox module anymore.
If you decide to use the DHCP/Zeroconf, you will need to use the “Scan network” mode to locate your CM-
MIDI. Just enter the first address of your DHCP server range in the “From” cells, then enter the maximum address
in the “To” cells. Note that the first three bytes of the IP address are automatically copied from the “From” line
(you can not enter them manually).
We recommend you to keep the scan range as small as possible, since it can take a lot of time to find the
CM-MIDI automatically on the network using this method when the timeout value is large.
