What network settings are required on the laptop
A laptop connected directly to the Services Ethernet interface on the S8300, S8400, S8500, or
S8700/S8710/S8720 Media Server requires a specific configuration as described in this section.
On any operating system, the network settings need to reflect the following:
●
TCP/IP properties.
Set the laptop's TCP/IP properties as follows:
- IP address:
192.11.13.5
- Subnet mask:
255.255.255.252
●
Browser settings.
Configure the browser for a direct connection to the Internet. Do
not
use
proxies.
●
Server address.
Access the S8300 media server using the URL http://192.11.13.6
The names of the dialog boxes and buttons vary on different operating systems and browser
releases. Use your computer's help system if needed to locate the correct place to enter this
information.

Set the TCP/IP properties on Windows systems. TCP/IP administration varies among Windows
systems.

Note:
Make a record of any IP addresses, DNS servers, or WINS entries that you
change when you configure your services computer. Unless you use the
NetSwitcher program or an equivalent, you will need to restore these entries to
connect to other networks.
