FS4 Frame Synchronizer/Converter v1.1
Networking Using
DHCP or Default
Static IP
The FS4 factory default configuration automatically looks for a DHCP server to issue an IP
address. If your network includes a DHCP server, plug the FS4 into the network and
connect with the unit as follows:
1. Press the
CONFIG
button.
2. Turn the
SELECT
knob to navigate to config parameter
3.2
. Note on a piece of paper
the DHCP-supplied IP address shown.
3. With your laptop or desktop computer connected to the same LAN as the FS4 and
DHCP enabled, launch a web browser, type the IP address you noted on the FS4's
display into the browser address field and press
Enter
. You should now see the FS4’s
browser
Status
screen.
If the FS4 cannot get an IP address from the network DHCP server, the FS4 will
automatically use a preset factory static IP address of 192.168.0.2. You can access the FS4
using the default static address as follows:
1. Set your computer's IP address to whatever address you prefer in the 192.168.0 (class
C) network.
2. Set the computer’s Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 (most PCs default to the proper
netmask when the address is set).
3. Set the gateway address, if used, to match the FS4 default: 192.168.0.1. Alternatively,
change the FS4 gateway address to match your gateway:
A. Press
CONFIG
, turn
SELECT
to
3.4 Default Gateway
, push and then turn
ADJUST
to
change the first group of digits.
B. Turn
SELECT
to advance to the next set of numbers, and turn
ADJUST
to set these
numbers.
C. Continue using
SELECT
and
ADJUST
to set the full address.
D. When finished, push
ADJUST
momentarily to save the address.
4. Run a browser on the computer and type “192.168.0.2” (the factory static IP address).
You should now see the FS4’s browser status screen.
When you can access the FS4 screens, see
“Browser Remote Control” on page 88
for details
about configuring the FS4 using a browser.
