In this mode, the IP address is provided by a DHCP server. Therefore, a DHCP server has to be
available in the network. For example, this could be a cheap 100MBit network router with in-
tegrated DHCP server. This option does not work if there is no device in the same network that
can distribute and manage network addresses as DHCP.

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 Windows 7, 8 and
10, AutoIP is enabled by default. In Windows XP, it has to be enabled manually. Before trying to
connect a ShowNEt to the computer, make sure that the AutoIP feature is enabled.
5.4.3 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 re-
sulting IP address will be something like
192.168.adr1.adr2
