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 re-
ceiver (see „Using the operating 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 Set-
tings menu (factory setting: deactivated).
▷ Restart the receiver.
Once restarted, the receiver is automatically detected in
the Sennheiser 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 auto-
matic 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 automatically generated IP addresses, please observe
the following information.
▷ Set the Mode to Automatic in the receiver’s Network Set-
tings menu.
▷ Ensure that the host PC on which the Sennheiser Control
Cockpit service is installed is configured so that the IP ad-
dress is assigned automatically, rather than a static config-
uration.
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 Network Settings menu on the receiver
(see „Using the operating menu of the receiver“).
