Addressing
When the Wizard IP Plus is situated within the local network, you will
need to give it an appropriate local IP address and IP network mask. This is
achieved most easily using the DHCP server option which will apply these
details automatically. If a DHCP server is not available on the network, then
these details need to be applied manually in accordance with the network
administrator.
The firewall/router must then be informed to route incoming requests to port
5900 or port 80 (if available) through to the local address being used by the
Wizard IP Plus.
To discover a DHCP-allocated IP address
Once a DHCP server has allocated an IP address, you will need to know it in
order to access the Wizard IP Plus via a network connection. To discover the
allocated IP address:
1 In the local Network configuration screens, set the ‘Use DHCP’ option
to ‘Yes’ and select ‘Save’. Once the page is saved, the Wizard IP Plus will
contact the DHCP server and obtain a new address.
2 Re-enter the same ‘Network configuration’ screen where the new IP address
and network mask should be displayed.
DNS addressing
As with any other network device, you can arrange for your Wizard IP Plus to be
accessible using a name, rather than an IP address. This can be achieved in two
main ways:
• For small networks that do not have a DNS (Domain Name System) server,
edit the ‘hosts’ files on the appropriate remote systems. Using the hosts file,
you can manually link the Wizard IP Plus address to the required name.
• For larger networks, declare the IP address and required name to the DNS
server of your local network.
The actual steps required to achieve either of these options are beyond the
scope of this document.
