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)
d) ILDA Streaming
The Laserworld ShowNET interface is capable to act as range extender for ILDA signals by
tranforming an incoming ILDA signal on the ILDA IN interface to a standard UDP network
signal and transferring this signal back to standard ILDA in a receiver unit (obviously an
external ShowNET interface is required as sender for this kind of application!) . Do NOT
send the signal over Wifi, this transmission method is not suitable in a professional envi-
ronment.
Sender-Receiver configuration for ILDA over LAN, range extender use
The sender uses an IP address range between 192.168.2.70 and 192.168.2.85 and trans-
mits the signal to a receiver that has addresses in the range between 192.168.2.50 and
192.168.2.65. The specific IP addresses need to be set with DIP switches. Make sure there
are no other devices in the same network that use the same IP addresses.
