12.4. Using DHCP in MA devices
The grandMA2 supports the use of DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). Use the normal procedure for
setting static IP addresses in your devices, if you do not know what DHCP is.
DHCP is enabled as a default when you do a full install. It can also be enabled on Consoles, NPU, and DMX Nodes
from the Setup->Network->MA Network Configuration. Read more about this in the
Adding devices to your session
The device will look for a DHCP server in the network during the boot process. If a DHCP server is not found, then the
device will assign an IP address in the APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) range. This address will begin with
169.254.x.y.
