Instruction Manual

Using DHCP

This method requires that your network implement DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), usually on a server or network access device such as a router, that dynamically allows devices to join the network without pre-configuration.

Please note: The OSD will report the IP address as assigned by the DHCP server. If you have a directly connected monitor, the following steps are not required.

If the unit is powered on and connected to the network via LAN port on the rear panel, it will automatically attempt to lease an IP address using DHCP. Before you can begin the configuration process, you will need to access the DHCP log from your file server or another device that acts as the DHCP server on the network. (You may need to contact your Network Administrator for this information).

A simple DHCP log should supply (at minimum) three essential details: IP address, MAC address, and device (or machine) name for the computers and other devices connected to your network.

The values for the SVxx53DXI tested above are as follows:

IP Address: 192.168.22.4

MAC Address: 00-0E-C5-00-08-1A

Device Name: (none)

The easiest way to identify your SVxx53DXI on the network is by its MAC address - a unique hardware identifier that is specific to your unit. The MAC address of the unit can be found using the OSD setup screen;
