clients on the Airconsole-XX WIFI can be assigned IP address by the wired
network DHCP server.
Under option 2 and 3, If Airconsole has its Wired Ethernet port connected to an existing
LAN network, then also configured the Default Gateway and DNS server addresses if
available.
4.2.3 DHCP Client Mode
DHCP Client Mode is an optional LAN Configuration Mode. Use this mode when
connecting the wired LAN port of Airconsole to an existing LAN that already has a DHCP
Server running on it.
In this mode the Airconsole acts as a DHCP Client for its own Bridge IP address, and
also proxies DHCP requests from wireless clients connected to the Airconsole-XX SSID
WIFI network through to the external DHCP server on the Wired LAN network.
If the DHCP server on the wired LAN network has (and allocates) a gateway IP address
and DNS server then the Airconsole and, any client connected wirelessly to AirConsole
in this mode will be able to access the Internet via the gateway.
When working in this mode, if the Airconsole does not receive an IP address from the
wired LAN DHCP server, it will revert to its default Static IP address of 192.168.10.1/24
(or if that has been changed by user, to the currently set Static IP address).
Also, when Airconsole does receive an IP address from the wired LAN DHCP server,
this address will become the address to build serial connections to and also the
Airconsole webpage address. Because this address may not be known to web clients, it
is broadcast via mDNS / Apple Bonjour to enable (for example) the Get Console app to
find Airconsole on its new address.
To connect to Airconsole from another PC, Mac or iOS Device connected to the same
subnet, use the address http://airconsole-xx.local where the “xx” is the value printed on
the back of the Airconsole unit.
