    Overview

    As of May 2019, SMS will be shipping out new counters in DHCP mode unless instructions were provided at purchase to specify what network addresses are required to be programed into the unit prior to shipping.

    Locating the device currently on the network. 

    DHCP mode means that the counter will automatically obtain network addresses when properly connected to a network which has a DHCP server.  

    In this case you would need only verify If the device is on the network to determine what IP address it has been assigned, so you can access the device through a web browser.
