User manual

The address that is used depends on the licence that you are using - if
you have a purchased version of ITP Professional, you will be assigned an
IP Address in your licence file. By using the class A private address family
(ie 10.x.x.x) we assure that no two users of ITP will be assigned the same
address - as such, the same network may be used by multiple people using
different copies of ITP without any issues. When you activate your licence
you will be prompted to use your assigned address - once that is done you
should be able to operate as desired.
D.2 DHCP Server
In addition to the virtual address assigned to the adapter, ITP also offers a
built-in DHCP server to help with cameras that offer in-camera configuration
wizards. When using ad-hoc connections, there is normally no DHCP server
in place so the camera can not automatically retrieve the settings needed
to operate on the network. In order to remedy this, ITP’s built-in DHCP
server can automatically assign TCP/IP settings to any devices (such as
cameras) that connect to the main adapter’s network. When setting up
transmitters like the Nikon WT-2 using the wizard interface, users can select
the obtain automatically option and the camera will retrieve the necessary
details directly from ITP. This reduces the probability of making mistakes
and helps to reduce the amount of data that you need to enter manually.
In order to prevent conflicts with other DHCP servers that may be in
place, ITP delays the initial responses that it sends out to devices asking for
network settings. If there are no other DHCP servers on the network, then
the devices will retrieve their settings from ITP - if there is, the other server
will respond faster and the device will retrieve the settings from the other
source. This means that the inbuilt DHCP server will only come into play
when there is no alternative in place.
If desired, the DHCP server may be disabled by unchecking the enable
DHCP server checkbox in the Configure Adapters dialog. This is usually
not necessary because of the passive behaviour of the server - however if you
are experiencing any problems you can safely disable it if desired.
