Easy Search Utility
When rst powered on, during the initial boot sequence, the
DNS-343 will wait to be assigned an IP address via DHCP. If it does not
receive a DHCP assigned IP address, by default it will boot up with a self-
assigned IP address of 192.168.0.32.
The Easy Search Utility provided on the DNS-343 CD-ROM makes it simple
to nd any DNS-343 devices on your network, and it is recommended to use
the Easy Search Utility when accessing and conguring the DNS-343 for
the rst time. Each DNS-343 will have a unique name of dlink-xxxxxx where
‘xxxxxx’ is the last six digits of its MAC address.
