Video wall subnet: assigning IP addresses

3.1.1

Short term IP addresses

Without any manual intervention, the Green BCM DHCP server assigns every device connected to the video wall
subnet (WALL interface) the next free IP address. These IP addresses are in the range 172.29.128.x. They are
valid as long as the device is connected to the subnet but are released approx. 1 hour after disconnection.
The initial setup and configuration of a video wall is done by a PC / Laptop connected to the video wall subnet.
Since also this PC gets an IP address of the Green BCM DHCP server this PC as a member of the same subnet can
connect to the Green BCM server and allows configuring the wall network.

In case the PC/laptop is not connected to the video wall subnet (LAN switch of the video
wall), it needs to be connected to the interface labeled Client, cf.

Green BCM Client interface

Temporary IP addresses are assigned in the sequence the devices are connected to the
network.
If you want to control the IP address assigment switch on the respective devices one by
one, in the desired sequence.

The assignment of the IP addresses can be seen on the web page of Green BCM, page Wall
DHCP. The IP addresses show up in the section short term IP address.
To launch the web page, connect a PC/Laptop to the LAN switch of the display wall.
On the PC/Laptop, launch Internet Explorer.
In its address bar, enter the URL of the Green BCM http://172.29.1.1
The web page of Green BCM opens.
On the left navigation bar, select Devices.
Click on the Search button to populate the page or to update the page, respectively.

It is strongly recommended to assign a permanent IP addresses to the displays. This allows
launching the web interface of a display from the Green BCM client application (using the
link of the IP address shown in the dashboard of a display, cf.
