Re: Clarity on Smart Dashboard Camera Mechanism

Is it possible to set a mdns name for the http web server?

Also the the ports that are allowed for team use ranges from "5800-5810"
I would not recommend using mDNS with coprocessors. Go with fixed IPs in the 10.team.number.xx range. Yes, for IP addresses, x, y, and z are integers in the range 0-255, but for use on the field, x and y should be derived from the team number (e.g. x=2, y=94 for team 294), and z should not be 0, 255, or 1-5.

The ports allowed for team use are listed in R56. Ports 5800-5810 are one option; another is port 80.
