Integrating the CHG 4N charger into a network with
DHCP
If a DHCP server is active in the selected network, the CHG 4N
charger receives an IP address automatically.
The CHG 4N charger is automatically detected in the Sennhe-
iser Control Cockpit once it is connected to the network,
since the CHG 4N is delivered with mDNS activated by default.
You can deactivate mDNS after you have configured the char-
