Determining the Encoder IP Address
To access the encoder, you must determine what its IP address is. You can use one of the following two 
methods to determine what the encoder IP address is:
Using DHCP
By default, when the encoder is turned on it attempts to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server in your 
network. 
Using Link-Local Address Scheme
If the encoder cannot obtain an IP address through DCHP, an IP address is assigned using the Link-Local 
address scheme. The Link-Local address scheme enables the encoder to be seen with a default IP address 
of 169.254.x.x. If another device on your network is already using this default IP address, the encoder 
acquires an IP address by inserting part of its MAC address into the 169.254.x.x IP address. To do this, 
the encoder converts the hex digits of the MAC address to decimal values and then applies them to create 
an IP address in the following format:
169.254.MAC:9-10.MAC:11-12
