2.3 Adding the In-Sight 4000 to a Network
The In-Sight 4000 is ready to be installed as a network host once it has power and is
physically connected to the network.
As previously described, there are many possible In-Sight network configurations. The
specific procedure for adding an In-Sight 4000 to a network depends on whether or not
a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is available. The DHCP
server automatically assigns the In-Sight 4000 sensor a network IP address and
Subnet Mask.
NOTE When installing the In-Sight 4000 to an existing network, consult your network administrator to
determine whether a DHCP server is available.
