Product Usage Instructions
Acquiring IP Address:
The device will attempt to acquire an IP address in the following
ways:
- Using the fallback static IP address until a DHCP server is found.
- Acquiring an IP address from a discovered DHCP server.
- If no DHCP server is found, obtaining a random free IP within the subnet range.
Ways to Discover Device IP Address:
- Directly connect a PC/Laptop to the device via Ethernet in a point-to-point connection and view the IP address via the device web-UI using the unique hostname.
- Perform a factory reset (via reset button) and access the fallback IP address (192.168.1.39).
- Connect to the subnet via a router with a built-in DHCP server and identify the device and its acquired IP address via the router Web-UI using the unique hostname or the L2 MAC address.
- Connect to the device’s serial control port, and the newly acquired IP address will be automatically notified on the serial port.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: How do I reset the device to acquire a new IP address?
A: You can perform a factory reset by using the reset button on the device, which will assign the fallback IP address until a new IP is acquired. -
Q: Can I manually assign an IP address to the device?
A: The device is designed for automatic IP acquisition, but you can set a static IP after acquiring one through DHCP.
Technical Note
Plug & Play IP Address Acquiring
Kramer Series 3 products features IP address auto-acquiring policy that enhances the integrator “plug & play” experience during installation. Products featuring this policy are labeled “DHCP-enabled”, and support this policy either out-of-box or following factory reset.
Devices with multiple Ethernet ports may acquire different fallback IP per port.
The IP addressing policy is as follows:
A fallback static IP address of 192.168.1.39 and 255.255.255.0 (255.255.0.0
for AVoIP devices) subnet mask (class C), is assigned until an IP address is
acquired via the DHCP server.
IP address 192.168.1.39 is the same as the default static IP address in
previous policy.
- The device attempts to find the DHCP server connected to the LAN and, when it does, auto-acquires the IP address from the discovered DHCP server.
- If no DHCP server is discovered,
- The deice acquires random free (unoccupied by other devices) IP address within the subnet range.
- The device retries the discovery attempts about once a minute while maintaining its last acquired IP address.
- The default hostname (≤15 characters length) is:
- (e.g., SWT3-31-HU-0024).
Ways for Discovering the device IP address:
- Directly connect a PC/Laptop to the device via Ethernet in a point-to-point connection, and view its IP address via the device web-UI by either of the following:
- Browse to the unique hostname (see above, e.g., http://SWT3-31-HU-0024).
- Perform factory reset (via reset button) and browse to the fallback IP address (192.168.1.39).
- Connect to the subnet via a router with a built-in DHCP server (most basic home routers can be used) and identify the device and its acquired IP address via the router Web-UI using the unique hostname (see above) or the L2 MAC address.
- Connect to device serial control (service) port, and newly acquired IP address is automatically notified on the serial port.
