finding DWC with safari browser
-
Hello everyone. I'm using a duet 2 for a CNC router control board and I like to use either my phone or a tablet as a pendant control for it. The issue I'm having is finding the DWC interface with my phone or my tablets. I will have to check the network router for the IP it assigned then use that IP address in the browser on my phone or tablet. I don't have a network router that I can configure so I cannot assign the CNC a static IP. Google chrome and other PC web browsers seem to be able to search the local network by name to find the CNC, but I can't seem to get that to work on the phone or table.

@baird1fa If you have given the Duet a name, you should be able to connect over ethernet using mdns, on devices that support mdns, which is most nowadays. See https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Machine_configuration/Networking#a-note-about-mdns-local-network-discovery
What phone and tablet are you using? You said Safari, so I assume iPhone and iPad, which should support mdns.
