A known-ahead DHCP ID and a reservation for that string I guess could do it. 

If this was a consumer device with no UI you'd probably be using WIFI-Direct
or having it transmit an adhoc SETUP witi network. 

If we can take it for granted they can get onto the same network - somehow - or
onto separate Internet-connected networks -  I think mDNS (at least, based on
my experience with Apple's  bonjour/zeroconf implementation) would be a more
practical way for normal people to easily find the device.
