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:
1In 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.

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:
®
Wizard IP Plus has a local address and net mask, i.e.
IP address: 192.168.0.3
Net mask: 255.255.255.0
BLACK BOX
LOC REM VNC 100 LNK PWR
Remote user with VNC viewer accesses IP
Internetaddress: 129.7.1.10 and automatically uses port
5900.
Firewall/router address: 129.7.1.10
The firewall routes the request from the VNC viewer on port 5900 through to the Wizard IP Plus at local address 192.168.0.3
•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.
