Network Settings
The next page of the wizard is the network configuration page. This screen is used to
configure the Player network settings
Player Networking Overview
The IS-XPT-2100 ("Player") must be connected to a network to update the Player’s
display content. This requires the following permanent network connections:
• A connection from the PC on which the Inspired Composer application is installed,
for content updates
• A connection to the Internet, for News & Weather updates, RSS Feeds, etc.
(
optional
)
The location of the Player in the network topology, and the choice of a PC to install the
Inspired Composer content management software should be determined accordingly.
Note: To ensure connectivity between the Inspired Composer application and the Player,
it is important that the IP address of the Player does not change.
Configure Network Settings
Set the Player Network settings as follows:
1.
Enter a name for the Player in the
Host Name
field. The Host Name makes it easier
to identify Players in a zero config enabled browser and in Composer.
2.
By default,
DHCP
is enabled for the Player, in which case all of the TCP/IP fields
are disabled. AMX recommends that you use DHCP and configure your DHCP
Server to prevent the Player IP address from changing.
3.
To manually configure these settings, de-select
DHCP
and enter the desired
Machine IP
,
Subnet Mask
,
Default Gateway
and
Primary
/
Secondary
DNS
values in
the respective fields. Ask your Network administrator for these values.
