Acquiring and Discovering Plug-and-Play IP Address
By default, VS-411XS is DHCP-enabled, and the following Network settings are set:
• Fallback IP Address – 192.168.1.39
• Fallback Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0
• Fallback Gateway – 192.168.1.1
To automatically acquire the IP address from DHCP server, connect VS-411XS to a LAN via
Ethernet.
When connecting the device to LAN, the device discovers the DHCP server and then a new
IP is acquired.
The fallback IP address (for first-time use) or the last-acquired IP address (for a device with
an IP address other than the default) are maintained until a new IP address is acquired via
DHCP server.
If DHCP server is not discovered, it attempts discovery every ~1 minute, while keeping
the current IP address (fallback or last-acquired).
To renew DHCP discovery, perform factory reset via the RESET button . Following reset
and web-UI factory reset, the last acquired IP address is auto enabled.
