Chapter 8: Setting IP Addresses
In most types of installations you will never have to set a static Internet Protocol (IP) address, but in the rare cases that require it,
use the instructions in this section.
Normally, Artist Series media controllers use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain IP addresses, typically from
a router. Artist Color reverts to link-local addressing to generate an IP address if a DHCP server is not found on the network, such
as when an Artist Color is connected directly to a computer with an Ethernet cable. Both of these methods of obtaining IP addresses
can be overridden by supplying a static IP address, which Artist Color will then use in all cases when powered on.
To set a static IP address:
1
While holding down the left-most two Soft Keys simultaneously, press and release the POWER switch. Continue to hold the Soft
Keys down until the display lights.
2
Turn the Left or Right Trackwheels clockwise to change the underlined value from yes (default) to no .
3
Press the ENTER key to move the cursor to the next screen, in this case the first field of the IP Address screen.
4
Press the ENTER key to cycle the cursor back to a previous field or screen to change a parameter to a different value.
5
Use the encoder beneath the value to set the first field of the IP Address.
6
Press the ENTER key to move the cursor to the second field.
7
Rotate the encoder beneath the value (or the Left or Right Trackwheels) to set the second field of the IP address.
8
Set the remaining IP Address fields.
9
After setting the last IP Address field, press the
ENTER
key to move the cursor to the first field of the
Subnet Mask
screen.
This step requires that you have prior experience configuring a network.
Use DHCP yes (left); Use DHCP no (right)
