Integrating the receiver into a network with DHCP
The receiver obtains the IP address from the DHCP server. You can see this
address in the Network Settings menu on the receiver (see „Using the op-
erating menu of the receiver”).
To add the receiver in the Sennheiser Control Cockpit:
▷ Use the Add Device function in the Sennheiser Control Cockpit and
enter the IP address you saw in the settings menu.
Or:
▷ Activate the mDNS function in the receiver’s Network Settings menu
(factory setting: deactivated).
▷ Restart the receiver.
Once restarted, the receiver is automatically detected in the Sennhe-
iser Control Cockpit.
mDNS = multicast Domain Name System: resolves host names to
IP addresses within small networks that do not include a local name
server. Used for automatic device discovery.
Integrating the receiver into a network without DHCP using Auto IP
If there is no DHCP server in the network and you are working with auto-
matically generated IP addresses, please observe the following informa-
tion.
▷ Set the Mode to Automatic in the receiver’s Network Settings menu.
▷ Ensure that the host PC on which the Sennheiser Control Cockpit ser-
vice is installed is configured so that the IP address is assigned auto-
matically, rather than a static configuration.
After several minutes, all receivers in the network will receive a link-local
address in the range of 169.254.x.x. You can see this address in the Net-
work Settings menu on the receiver (see „Using the operating menu of the
receiver”).
