In this mode, the IP address is negotiated automatically without the need for a DHCP
server. A Windows computer with enabled AutoIP is necessary to use this feature. In Win-
dows 7, 8 and 10, AutoIP is enabled by default. In Windows XP it has to be enabled ma-
nually. Before trying to connect a ShowNET to the computer, make sure that the AutoIP
feature is enabled. If AutoIP is selected, but there is a DHCP server in the network (e.g. in a
router), the IP assignment cannot work sometimes. Use DHCP mode in this case.
c) Static IP address
Using a static IP address is the most stable option for network control. The IP address
consists of 4 numbers, seperated by a point. The first two number are always 192.168 and
cannot be changed. The last two numbers (adr1 and adr2) can be configured with DIP
switches. The resulting IP address will be something like
192.168.adr1.adr2

The Windows computer needs to have an IP address within the same network subnet.

This will assign IP address 192.168.0.61 to the ILDA interface.
Assign a different IP address inside the same subnet to the Windows computer, for example
192.168.0.100 (subnet = 255.255.255.0)
