Network Settings
Your Web Presenter can connect to the network using a static IP address or by using DHCP.
DHCP - will automatically set an IP address for your unit and connect it to your network without
any settings changed.
The dynamic host configuration protocol, or DHCP, is a service on network servers and routers
that automatically finds your Web Presenter and assigns an IP address. DHCP makes it easy to
connect equipment via Ethernet and make sure that IP addresses do not conflict with each
other. Most computers and network switches support DHCP.
Static IP - If you want to set the IP address yourself, simply set the protocol setting to ‘static IP
and change the IP settings manually.
A static IP address is one that won’t change even if your Web Presenter is rebooted.
Using a static IP address might be necessary if your connecting your Web Presenter to a
corporate network. If you have a network administrator, it’s possible your network might have
custom IP addresses for all the equipment connected to it. It’s best to check with your network
administrator if they are managing your computers and network in your company.
