Hostname and Network Address

	=~~Hostname and Network Address~~=		=First time access to the web interface=

	~~Network devices can be accessed in two ways:~~		The typical way to access the device is via a Ethernet connection to a Router/Switch.
	* via ~~IP address (e~~.~~g., ''192.168.1.157'')~~
	* via hostname (e.g., ''radarcape'')

	~~The ''IP address'' is provided to~~ your ~~Radarcape during startup via the http://en.wikipedia.org Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol] (~~DHCP~~) service. Usually,~~ your ~~Internet router provides the DHCP service in your network and~~		If your network have DHCP enabled your device will obtain a IP address automatically.
	~~assigns an~~ IP address ~~to your device. A fixed address can be configured via the Linux command line~~.

	~~[[File:dhcp_ddwrt.jpg\|800px\|~~DHCP ~~listing of a DD-WRT router showing hostnames RC70 and RC71 as 192.168.1.180 and 192.168.1~~.~~133]]~~		If your network does not have DHCP enable, continue to USB network access.

	~~''DHCP listing of~~ a ~~DD-WRT router showing hostnames RC70 and RC71 as 192~~.~~168~~.~~1.180 and 192.168~~.1.~~133''~~		After connecting the device you should be able to access it from a Web Browser at http://radarcape or http://radarcape.local. If you have a Air!Squitter use http://air-squitter or http://air-squitter.local.

	~~[[File:dhcp_fritzbox.jpg\|800px\|DHCP listing~~ of ~~a Fritzbox showing hostname RC23 as 192.168.178~~.~~36]]~~		If you are unsuccessful accessing by name you need to find the IP address of the device.

	''DHCP ~~listing of~~ a ~~Fritzbox showing hostname RC23 as 192~~.~~168~~.~~178~~.~~36''~~		To find the IP address you should access your DHCP server assignment table (for example at your local Home Gateway/Router), or by using a mDNS/Bonjour smartphone app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.wellenvogel.bonjourbrowser).

	~~The configuration of a fixed~~ IP address ~~is described this page: [[Radarcape:Fixed IP Address]]~~.		Additionally on the Air!Squitter you can use the front panel OLED display to check the assigned IP address.

	~~The hostname is a given name that is stored internally in your device (see ''/etc/hostname''). If there is no~~		=USB network access=
	~~label on the back side of your Radarcape, the hostname is ''radarcape''.~~

	~~''Note~~:~~'' Some router models require appending~~ the ''.~~local''~~ to the ~~hostname~~. ~~In this case ''radarcape~~.~~local'' must be used instead of simply ''radarcape''~~.		* note you need a Debian 10 image to use this feature
