Setting the Receiver’s IP Address via the RS 232 Port
In most cases, all setup and configuration for both Transmitters and Receivers is done via the Digital TV
Configuration Manager (see the
Digital TV Configuration Manager
section on page 53 for information).
However, the Receiver’s IP Address can also be specified using a local command line interface, accessible via
the RS 232 (DB9) port on the rear panel (see FIG. 10 on page 7).
In order to configure the network settings via the RS 232 Port, the Receiver must be placed in Command
mode. To place the Receiver in Command mode, press
Enter
while the unit is booting up.
To reboot, re-cycle power to the unit by disconnecting and re-connecting the 12VDC POWER connector on
the rear panel.
Use the following command to configure the network settings:

Following prompts to configure LAN network settings. This setting takes effect immediately after the
unit boots up.
Enter DHCP option (0/1) >
Enter ipAddr:
Enter subnet:
Enter Gateway:
Enter priDNS:
Enter secDNS:
Enter DomainName:
Note: If DHCP is set, all other options to enter IP address setting will be skipped. If entry is not valid,
it will be prompted again. If second entry is still not valid, the configuration will exit without saving.
All DTV Transmitters and Receivers must have an assigned IP Address, Network
Mask, and Gateway Address in order for the DTV system to work correctly. This
applies to units that utilize DHCP and to units that have been assigned Static IP
addresses. If you are using DHCP, verify that these address assignments are
provided by the DHCP Server.
